Firehouse Expo 2007
Deputy Chief Robert Cobb, Jersey City FD, NJ conducts hands-on training at the Baltimore City FD Training Facility. His class is divided into small tactical groups. Over the course of two days Firefighters from many states, and some foreign countries, will be trained in the latest techniques for search using TED - Target Exit Device in conjunction with search guide ropes. The obstacles and environments to be encountered include tower (high rise) techniques, nearly-blind search rope recovery tactics, and a very effective smoke house session.
· TED can be heard above all the other sounds at the fire ground.
· TED provides a continuous and reliable EXIT reference point under zero visibility conditions.
· TED buys you time when minutes and air are precious.
