| Falmouth Vol. Fire/Rescue coordinated a Confined Space Technician Course through Spec. Rescue International. Members from Falmouth, White Oak-Station 7, Potomac Hills-Station 10 and Stafford County Fire/Rescue-Career, obtained the techniques for the most advanced level of confined space training as outlined in the NFPA 1670 and 1006 standard. This course provided personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary for confined space entry and rescue operations in a more complex environment.
Participants obtained additional knowledge of how to manage high risk, high profile confined rescue operations, including management of local, regional and federal rescue teams, size-up and operational strategy for confined space rescue.
