| On Saturday July 27, 2013, Sykesville Crews were joined by the Carroll County ATR Team and Frederick County ATV 3 for training on ropes and overland rescue at McKeldin State Park in Marriottsville. Crews started the morning off with an introduction to ropes and hauling systems. After some hands on training was completed with rope systems, crews made there way to the back of the park and ran a scenario of a patient down over a hill. Crews worked together setting up a rope system and lower providers and a stokes basket down to the patient. Once at the patients side crews packaged the patient and then began the task of bring the patient up over the hill using the rope system that was set up. |
