The Waterville Maine fire department conducted its October monthly training session, focusing specifically on ropes rescue techniques. The training involved setting up a ringing system at the top of the fire department's host tower, simulating a rescue scenario. Firefighters practiced rappelling down the hose tower to reach the simulated victims or extrication points, emphasizing safety protocols, proper equipment use, and teamwork during high-angle rescue operations.
