St Marys Firefighters Take Part in Low Angle Rope Training

The St Marys Fire Department has continued their training efforts who took part in low angle rope rescue last week.

The training took place off a steep embankment in an old quarry.

A firefighter was sent down the embankment with harnesses and a rope line to haul up a 175 pound mannequin.

Fire Chief Richard Anderson says the department takes part in this type of rescue practice at least twice a year.

The training had put into practice of a man who suffered a head injury and had fallen down the embankment in the quarry.
