The call went out to rescue a man who was stuck in a 20-inch diameter pipe at a water treatment facility. Initial emergency responders were faced with a task that was multi-faceted, resulting in a response from multiple agencies and jurisdictions. The unorthodox challenges all the responders faced that day led to various stumbling blocks that required critical thinking for solutions for the rescue. This course will focus on the response to the incident, initial company considerations, the rescue plan, resource identification, medical considerations, safety and security concerns, and considerations for acceptable solutions for rescue incidents.
