March 24, 2025

For Monday night training on March 24, crews took advantage of the decent weather to practice working with the Paratech Monopod and Tripod for rope rescues. Crews began by discussing the safety aspects of the setup, working capabilities, and the options for different rescue situations. The firefighters were split into two groups that switched training stations on the church side and the Sunoco side of the Limerick Station. On the church side, crews worked on setting up the Paratec Monopod working off the hitch at the rear of Rescue 51. They worked together to put the Monopod into service using guides lines to the eyebolts on the Rescue and using a mechanical advantage anchor point across from the Monopod. The goal was to rescue a victim simulated down an embankment. On the Sunoco side, crews worked on the tripod set up over the bilko doors and practiced using a harness and lowering a firefighter into a hole for a rescue.
