00:00.510 --> 00:02.530
- It's kind of nerve-wracking,

00:02.530 --> 00:06.241
you know, going off a
building connected to a rope.

00:06.241 --> 00:08.991
(metal clanking)

00:13.530 --> 00:16.070
- For this, it's kinda specialty
in the Fire Department,

00:16.070 --> 00:16.903
so, you know, you have like the

00:16.903 --> 00:19.160
EMT's who specialize
in the medical portion,

00:19.160 --> 00:20.431
well this is another specialty.

00:20.431 --> 00:21.590
(radio chatter)

00:21.590 --> 00:23.470
When we're dealing with
rescue, it's getting out there,

00:23.470 --> 00:25.873
helping out, and getting
people out of bad situations.

00:26.737 --> 00:28.500
- People work on top
of buildings everyday,

00:28.500 --> 00:32.500
people go in confined
spaces doing work everyday,

00:32.500 --> 00:35.511
and, you know, things happen.

00:35.511 --> 00:37.303
- I found him, Country's coming up.

00:38.490 --> 00:40.007
- [Instructor] Check
line before you use this.

00:40.007 --> 00:40.840
- Nice and easy.

00:40.840 --> 00:44.610
- Maybe not so much everyday,
but, when situations happen,

00:44.610 --> 00:46.810
you want the people
around to be prepared to

00:46.810 --> 00:49.130
utilize their training to
actually help those people out.

00:49.130 --> 00:51.967
We don't want to be reactive,
we want to be proactive.

00:54.190 --> 00:56.610
- So you have your
suspended victim, right?

00:56.610 --> 00:57.834
So how long do you have?

00:57.834 --> 00:58.667
- 30 minutes.

00:58.667 --> 00:59.552
- 30 minutes, Right?

00:59.552 --> 01:01.860
(upbeat music)

01:01.860 --> 01:03.540
- [Instructor] It's
amazing just to see the

01:03.540 --> 01:04.500
progression of the students.

01:04.500 --> 01:07.000
So day one, a lot of these
ladies and gentlemen,

01:07.000 --> 01:09.060
you know, they haven't
had a lot of experience,

01:09.060 --> 01:10.410
and, you know, we take baby steps,

01:10.410 --> 01:11.310
we show them how to do it,

01:11.310 --> 01:12.850
and then you allow them a time to

01:12.850 --> 01:14.590
try out those systems and--

01:14.590 --> 01:15.940
- Alright Sarge, I'm good to go.

01:15.940 --> 01:17.270
- [Instructor] As the weeks progress

01:17.270 --> 01:18.950
you see them get better
at tying ropes and knots,

01:18.950 --> 01:20.930
we see them get better
at making the systems,

01:20.930 --> 01:22.410
and we see them get more
comfortable on the wall.

01:22.410 --> 01:24.450
So, from day one, not knowing anything

01:24.450 --> 01:27.290
to, you know the end of
instruction at day fifteen,

01:27.290 --> 01:28.810
and getting that certification and

01:28.810 --> 01:31.080
having the confidence in them to now use

01:31.080 --> 01:32.180
the knowledge that they have gained,

01:32.180 --> 01:33.970
it's almost like seeing a little brother,

01:33.970 --> 01:35.330
or a little sister graduate, you know?

01:35.330 --> 01:37.256
So it's a good feeling.

01:37.256 --> 01:40.339
(indistinct chatter)

01:44.870 --> 01:46.822
- Yay, my heroes!

01:46.822 --> 01:48.322
- Congratulations.
