Rope Rescue
 
Graysville Fire Department has been trained and certified in High Angle (Rope) Rescue. High angle rescue is considered to be terrain that has a slope angle of 60 and higher. Rescuers are totally dependent upon the ropes used to keep them and the victims from falling and to gain access to and egress from the rescue location.

 

Examples of high angle locations include: pipe racks, ledges, and catwalks, tops of vessels, cranes, and water towers. High angles are also found below grade level in ship holds, barges, confined spaces, tunnels, and sewer and piping systems. Good, competent technical rescue skills involving ropes, anchoring and belaying systems, lowering and hauling systems and litter/stretcher work are going to be mandatory for the safe performance of the rescue team.
