Firefighters with the Directorate of Emergency Services
Summary
Firefighters with the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Fire Department practice rappelling down a tower May 10, 2018, at the Air Assault Course at Fort McCoy, Wis., during Ropes Rescue I training. The course is the first of many for the firefighters in technical rescue training. The DES Fire Department stepped up the department’s training in technical rescue in 2014. Technical rescue is defined as those aspects of saving life or property that employ the use of tools and skills that exceed those normally used in firefighting, medical emergency, and rescue.
