Interior Search & Rescue Training

By   August 23, 2024

At the August PFRA meeting, Capt. Mike Carr walked through a very detailed presentation on search & rescue tactics used by Plano Fire-Rescue during residential and commercial structure fires. We learned that scene size-ups are not always what they appear to be, and we saw how difficult and dangerous interior searches can be depending on conditions. Thank you Capt. Carr for another great presentation to PFRA!
