Members of the Southeast Montgomery County Technical Rescue
Task Force (SEMCTRTF) were back in the field Thursday night conducting hands-on
technical rescue evolutions. The members
spent the night operating high-pressure air bags, forming anchor systems with
steel pickets, rigging mechanical advantage systems, and packaging simulated
patients in stokes baskets. The SEMCTRTF
responds together to highly specialized rescue incidents and consists of Rescue
47 (KPVFC), Rescue 27 (Fairmount of Norristown FD), and Rescue 21 (Penn Wynne
Fire Co.). All three units of the task
force participated on Thursday night.
