SALEM, NH - Salem firefighters were able to get hands-on training recently at a building that's currently being built. Firefighters conducted the drill at the new Mass General building, simulating a worker who fell off the roof and was hanging mid-air in his safety harness. Due to the building still being under construction there were no stairs to the upper floors yet, so Salem set up their tower ladder for the rescue of the mannequin.
