00:01.981 --> 00:05.064
(dramatic pulsating)

00:09.544 --> 00:11.803
- [Speaker] We're in Durham, North Carolina today,

00:11.803 --> 00:13.953
we're doin' training at a rock quarry.

00:13.953 --> 00:16.568
Doin' scenario-based trainings for a confined area,

00:16.568 --> 00:19.100
and vertical, block cliff training.

00:19.100 --> 00:21.850
(dramatic music)

00:25.191 --> 00:27.645
We have survivors set up on a rock base,

00:27.645 --> 00:30.055
and we're actin' like it's a rescue situation for them

00:30.055 --> 00:32.430
and rescuing them from the rock base.

00:32.430 --> 00:35.180
(dramatic music)

00:35.576 --> 00:39.243
(helicopter blade whirring)

00:41.102 --> 00:43.185
- One rescuer right here,

00:43.298 --> 00:45.402
one rescue up to top of the hill.

00:45.402 --> 00:48.084
We are back here, to begin with, we'll send the aircraft

00:48.084 --> 00:50.946
in, kinda blow out whatever loose objects, leaves, rocks,

00:50.946 --> 00:53.357
whatever branches, whatever else that might become

00:53.357 --> 00:57.524
a projectile, so please override the urge to look up.

00:57.642 --> 01:01.309
(helicopter blade whirring)

01:02.792 --> 01:04.635
(dramatic music)

01:04.635 --> 01:07.169
- One thing that's important as a victim being rescued

01:07.169 --> 01:08.527
again by the HART team,

01:08.527 --> 01:10.932
is to get their attention, because just because

01:10.932 --> 01:12.980
you do see a helicopter overhead does not

01:12.980 --> 01:14.695
necessarily mean that they see you.

01:14.695 --> 01:16.730
You're a much smaller target.

01:16.730 --> 01:18.771
Once you catch their attention and the technician

01:18.771 --> 01:21.871
comes down to your level, allow them to do all the work.

01:21.871 --> 01:24.040
The more you fight them, the more that you wanna

01:24.040 --> 01:26.339
cling onto them and grab on, the longer it's gonna take

01:26.339 --> 01:27.970
for them to initiate the rescue,

01:27.970 --> 01:30.012
and the longer it's gonna take you to get back

01:30.012 --> 01:33.409
in the air frame, and get back to safety.

01:33.409 --> 01:36.909
(heavy rock & roll music)

01:47.818 --> 01:51.485
(helicopter blade whirring)

01:52.184 --> 01:54.549
(dramatic music)

01:54.549 --> 01:56.634
- I'm with Durham County Emergency Management.

01:56.634 --> 01:58.311
Helping the community is something

01:58.311 --> 01:59.497
that is a passion of mine.

01:59.497 --> 02:01.663
That's one goal that I've always had in my life.

02:01.663 --> 02:03.744
Working in emergency management, you definitely

02:03.744 --> 02:05.663
get to help those who are affected.

02:05.663 --> 02:08.073
If it ever comes to a situation where you are needed

02:08.073 --> 02:10.482
to help with logistics, if you're talkin' bout EMS, fire,

02:10.482 --> 02:13.341
law enforcement, and being a part, and being of

02:13.341 --> 02:17.376
help coordinating with them is something I'm proud to do.

02:17.376 --> 02:19.746
(dramatic music)

02:19.746 --> 02:22.831
- We trained with local fire departments, rescue squads,

02:22.831 --> 02:25.414
we also do county and state EM.

02:26.424 --> 02:29.618
And we also work with our HART techs, who work

02:29.618 --> 02:33.337
with the fire departments throughout the state.

02:33.337 --> 02:37.004
(helicopter blade whirring)

02:47.867 --> 02:50.617
(dramatic music)

03:02.268 --> 03:04.351
- The Durham Fire Department would like to take

03:04.351 --> 03:06.281
the opportunity to thank the North Carolina HART Team

03:06.281 --> 03:08.694
and the North Carolina Office of Emergency Management

03:08.694 --> 03:12.651
for allowing us the training opportunity that we have today.

03:12.651 --> 03:14.941
Training like this provides us rescuers

03:14.941 --> 03:17.028
a different perspective to better prepare us

03:17.028 --> 03:18.778
for real life events.

03:19.480 --> 03:23.230
