Urban Search and Rescue 11/21/11
John Smith was the training officer for this exercise | Chief Randy Canady explains the situation to the firefighters |
This 70 lb punching bag played the part of our "victim". For each scenario it was placed in a different location. Then a two man team went in to find the victim. |
This CPR dummy played the role of victim in the second act of the exercise. Once the punching bag was dragged out of the room, CPR was administered to the victim for 1 minute. |
Did I mention we searched for the victim blind? | All the lights are off and we are unable to see as we feel our way through the scene. |
As you can see, we didn't always find the victim on the first sweep. |
