Confined Space Rescue Training

The Wooster Division of Fire recently completed it's Confined Space Rescue Refresher classes for 2010.

Taught by Cleveland State University, with grant money supplied through the Ohio Department of Public Safety, this is an annual class that allows the Department to continue to meet the needs of local industry by qualifying as their OSHA designated intervention team.

To facilitate an expedient response in case of an emergency during training, the City of Wooster Administration building was utilized, conveniently located adjacent to Wooster Fire Station #1.

The scenario incorporated a worker who had fallen into an open pit with a low oxygen atmosphere during routine maintenance, injuring his leg.

The operation in progress, tripod, mechanical advantage system, and ventilation in place...
Rescuers in the confined space packaging the patient for extrication...

A big thanks goes out to Dave Ware and his crew, Jimmy and Ed, for teaching around the many calls in progress.
