On Friday evening and all day Saturday, Millwood FD members joined members of the Ossining Fire Department to participate in confined space rescue training conducted by START Group, a technical rescue training group based in Illinois. Millwood and Ossining members had the opportunity to train in a local water tower to learn vertical rescue techniques, safe entry into limited access areas, how to set up anchor and belay systems, and how to package and extricate patients using a variety of techniques. Training opportunities like this give our members the tools to safely and successfully assist the community in unique rescue scenarios.
