Members of the Central Coast Volunteer Rescue Squad participated in vertical rescue training recently.
A highly skilled vertical operator and instructor from Binnalong Squad conducted the training on the Arizona Vortex which is used in vertical rescue operations where additional (artificial) height is required to rescue a casualty.
The Arizona Vortex is a major upgrade in equipment as it is lighter, more versatile and simpler to erect in many combinations and spaces.
The equipment was purchased with the support of the Wyong Roos Foundation.
