On Wednesday evening June 9th, twenty-four East Brandywine Fire Company volunteers participated in training. This month starts T3 Training's focus will be on ropes and rigging.

Lieutenant Tyler Smith and FF/EMT Dane Edwards led the session in which the focus was on the following:

Lifeline vs. Utility Rope

Care of the Rope

7 Knots Essential for Fire Department Use

Throughout the month of June each training session will build upon itself and end with participants building mechanical advantage systems.
