Arizona Vortex Training

On January 31, 2026 the Toms River Fire Department Technical Rescue Team conducted Training at a building slated for demolition. The training included setting up and operating a Twin Tensioned Rope System using the Arizona Vortex as a high directional to lower and raise team members into and out of an elevator shaft as part of our regular confined space training. Members were able to practice various anchor options including using a Paratech Strut as a Jamb Pole anchor.
