The City of Olean Fire Department trained A Platoon in Rapid Intervention Teams (RITs) on April 15.
Teams of two firefighters navigated obstacle-based scenarios meant to mimic finding and rescuing a fallen fireman. The drill focused on search techniques, communication, and coordinated removal under challenging conditions.
