Bailout Training is Underway!
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By PIO Elle Sacher
January 4, 2025

This month, our members are diving into their annual bailout recertification! This essential training prepares us for those rare but critical moments when a quick escape from a dangerous situation inside a structure is the only option.

One key technique we’re focusing on:

Rope Bailouts – Using a harness and rope system to anchor securely and lower ourselves safely from upper floors.

We jump right into high-level bailouts, and for added realism, we even practice blindfolded to mimic the zero-visibility conditions caused by heavy smoke.

Safety is always the top priority. During these high-intensity drills, we rely on backup harnesses and belay systems to ensure everyone stays protected while honing these life-saving skills.

It’s tough work, but it’s all worth it to make sure we’re ready to protect our community when seconds count.
