There was a training event today for firefighters in Gwinnett County.  They learned emergency rescue tricks for when a fellow firefighter is down from firefighters from the FDNY.

They let me get as close as I wanted since no real fire was involved.

Gwinnett and Marietta firefighters pull a rope to safely lower a dummy firefighter from a building during a drill at the Gwinnett Fire Academy on Saturday. The drill was part of the Fire Service Leadership and Safety Conference for rapid intervention teams who are deployed to rescue firefighters operating at emergency scenes.
