Surry Community College hosted the 45th annual North Carolina Rescue College, in conjunction with the NC Office of the State Fire Marshal and NC Association of Rescue Squads and EMS. I participated in the Tower Rescue class, which was headed up by instructors Joe Burris (OSFM), Adam Snyder (Atlantic Beach FD), Mark Rutherford (Gastonia FD) and Carnie Hedgepeth (OSFM). This is a relatively new program designed to teach the specialized skills needed to effect rescues from cell towers, radio towers, and similar structures. (Pictured, left to right: Instructors Carnie, Mark, Joe and Adam)
I have tried to remember peoples' names and departments but, it seems my memory capacity is inversely proportional to my ever-increasing age so, if I have mis-represented anyone in the photo pages, please email me and let me know so that I can correct it!
