Edgewater, NJ - Edgewater Fire Company #1 members sharpened their technical skills during a recent drill focused on the safe and efficient movement of tools in elevated operations.

Firefighters trained on properly securing and tying off equipment to be hoisted using utility ropes, a critical task that ensures tools can be safely raised to upper levels during emergency incidents.

Emphasis was placed on knot selection, load balance, and maintaining control of equipment while in motion.
