Reno Fire Department Trains in Backcountry Rope Rescue Techniques
May 13, 2025 — by 775TimesTeam in 775Times, Articles
Nothing like a great view and great weather for training:
“Yesterday, the Reno Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Rapid Extraction Module trained on backcountry rope rescue and injured firefighter extraction techniques. The Rapid Extraction Module is a highly specialized team used on wildland fire incidents to extract not only injured firefighters but also members of the public when aircraft are unable to do so due to visibility and weather conditions. Yesterday’s high winds were a perfect example of rescue aircraft limitations!“ 📸 Reno FD #reno #nevada
