A Platoon Training

On Wednesday,October 27, 2010 at the North Kings Highway Station Engine1322, Ladder1324 and Squirt 1351 conducted an exercise simulating a response to an unconscious patient who was on the roof of a house.  Cherry Hill Firefighters have faced situations similar to this in the field several times before.  For the training the engine and ladder companies utilized their ropes, ground ladders, and mechanical advantage devices to safely lower the simulated patient, safely secured in a stokes basket, from the height of over 13 feet.
