This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.
On 2/20/24 Norwich's 4 shift trained on patient packaging with the stokes basket and webbing. Following that, they practiced using the bucket of Truck 1 as a high point anchor. Building rope systems is a very perishable skill that we must practice often to stay proficient.
