Firefighter Rescue Training

Leeds Fire & Rescue personnel performed RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) training this week utilizing the Alabama Fire College Burn Trailer.  This type of training is designed to enhance rescue skills in the event a fellow firefighter requires rescue.  These simulations are performed in extreme heat and fire-like conditions in order to provide a realistic environment.  We would like to extend a special thanks to Lt. Kyle Shell and Fire Medic Kyle McKinney for overseeing the training evolutions.
