Trappe Fire Company No. 1 and Collegeville Fire Company No. 1 conducted company level training on rigging the main aerial ladder for a rope rescue incident.

Crews reviewed applicable NFPA standards, anchors, rope hardware, and setting up a main line and a belay line on the main aerial ladder. Crews created mirrored systems utilizing Petzl I'Ds for the evolution.

Thank you to Brian Sarver for coming out to instruct.
