CCSOSAR Ropes Team members trained with Vancouver Fire and Rescue Technical Rescue teams at Fire Tower 5. Training included rapelling down the Fire Tower using Petzl I’Ds and CMC Rescue MPD’s, as well as building with the Arizona Vortex. For our team, it was great to see how they did things, and to learn new techniques. Thank you for having us! We look forward to more cross trainings with VFR.

Training in Wilderness First Aid is essential for members in Search and Rescue. With urban first aid, help can be received within minutes.

CCSOSAR members base their wilderness first aid standards where the Patient Assessment Triangle is used.
