On Saturday, March 6, Lionville personnel participated in a Chester County Technical Rescue Task Force training. The Chester County Technical Rescue Task Force is a task force organized of multiple fire companies throughout Chester county who specialize in several different disciplines of rescue and complex victim extrication. The training for the day focuses on the building and structural collapse discipline, specifically concrete breaching.
Personnel trained on breaching concrete to pass though concrete walls or large pieces of rubble through many different techniques, as well as drilling bore holes to pass a specialized camera through to identify potential victims.
