Firefighters ‘hang around,’ train for rescues

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Christopher Gaulin, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighter from Worcester, Mass., nears the bottom of his rope during a rappel from a water tower Sept. 4, 2013, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Firefighters must train to be able to safely extract victims from any situation. Rappelling is used in real-world operations to rescue victims in areas where conventional means are not available.
