  1. Advanced Rope Systems Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  2. Please Review • The following slides are illustrations of the evolutions we will be performing and their associated rigging. Some equipment and sequencing were omitted for clarity. These illustrations were created as a visual reference and memory jogger only. The evolutions we perform at the drill may deviate from the slides shown on this presentation. Please review the Zone 3 Rope manual for detailed information on the skills referred to on the next slide. Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  3. Drill Objectives • Complete Annual Rope Training Standards • Belay system • Complete assignment while suspended • Safety check • Highline System • Lead Climbing • Lowering systems • Mechanical Advantage • Move a victim in a high angle environment • Multi point anchors • Patient packaging Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  4. Structure Based Guiding Line Offset Reference Zone 3 Rope Manual (Highline Systems) • Considerations • Why are we working at the top? • Is their enough room for a crew on top • What are we bringing up? • How many people are needed ? • How much time will this take? • Are the top side technicians physically able to make the climb? • Are all team members on the same page? • How tall is the structure? • Will we have to knot pass? Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  5. Ground Based Guiding Line Offset Reference Zone 3 Rope Manual (Highline Systems) • Considerations • How Tall is the structure? • Do we have enough rope ? • Are we prepared for a knot pass? • Is it easier? Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  6. Safety Considerations • System safety check: • Any system is only as strong as its weakest link! WE ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. Therefore we need to make sure we have built in redundancy with our rope rescue systems. There is greater potential for human error than equipment failure. • Critical Point Test • Whistle Test • Touch Test Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  7. Rescuer Setup • Belay Line Attachment (Butterfly knot) or hard tie using long tail bowline. • Mainline Attachment • To Patient Chest Harness • Pick Off Strap to Patient Seat Harness • AZTEK Kit • Other Optional Equipment • Knife • Patient Harness • Trauma Shears • Helmet Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  8. Bow Lake Water Tower Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  9. Structure Based Guiding Line Offset Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  10. Structure Based Guiding Line Offset • Gear • What are we bringing to the top • People • Rope • Hardware • Patient packaging • Gear Hauling Line Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  11. Structure Based Guiding Line Offset • All necessary gear must be transported to top side. • Crew may use guiding line as gear hauling line prior to tensioning. • Rig for Lower using appropriate hardware Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  12. Structure Based Guiding Line Offset • Attach tenant to Main, Belay, then Guiding line • Lower to patient for pick off • Package patient in appropriate apparatus • Pick off using strap or AZTEK kit • Lower to ground Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  13. Ground Based Guiding Line Offset Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  14. Ground Based Guiding Line Offset • Crew lead climbs with belay line, guide line, and appropriate hardware • Crew Can use Guide line to haul gear before tensioned • Ground belay becomes lowering system Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue

  15. Ground Based Guiding Line Offset • Crew Finds High Point anchors • Rigs TPB or 540 • Rigs CD for Main • Line Lower • Packages patient • Attaches all lines • Then attaches Stokes to guide line • Communicates with ground for lower Tukwila Fire Technical Rescue
