"Tornado" Vehicle Extrication/Rope Scenario

Designed for Montgomery County, Maryland Fire and Rescue's "Rescue Challenge Team", 2011

This scenario simulated a vehicle entangled in wires and hanging precariously from the inside roof of a warehouse after a tornado.  There were simulated patients in the form of "rescue randy's" inside the vehicle.

In the far left top/bottom photos, the vehicle is hanging about 15'-20' off the warehouse floor.

Middle top, personnel gathering below and formulating a rescue/extrication plan.

Middle bottom, 2 personnel were lowered from above and stabilized the vehicle (securing it to intact roof beams above). Subsequent to this, the 'rescue randy's" were extricated via the doors/windows and lowered to the ground.
