Firefighter entanglement and low clearance drills.
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Member Kate Arnold
November 6, 2017

Tonight we discussed methods to avoid becoming entangled in wires, how to get yourself untangled, and how to maneuver through areas with low clearance.

Another important piece of advice was about when to call a mayday. Call mayday as soon as you feel entrapped. You can always continue to work on getting yourself free. If you can't get yourself out within a minute or two of calling a mayday, you should stop exerting yourself, remain calm, and preserve your air.

Thank you to Craig Enke for setting up the entanglement prop and leading our training tonight!
