Last week a class of 12 made up of 6 different agencies including our own regional SORT (Special Operations Response Team) trained over 40 hours of extensive hands-on instruction in highly technical and challenging real world environments. They obtained MCFD #6 Pro Board International Certification in Rope Technical Rescuer I and Rope Technical Rescuer II. They also became proficient in Low/Medium/High Angle rope systems, including descending, ascension, rappelling, self-rescue, pick-offs, and high-lines. A special thanks to Mason County Fire District 6 for hosting this great training and to Dan Hudson for his knowledge and expertise.
