Firefighters perform high-angle, technical-rope-rescue training

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Ivey, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighter from Irving, Texas, rappels from the top of a water tower, 120-feet above the ground, during a technical rope rescue training session Sept. 4, 2013, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Firefighters here received training from instructors from the 435th Construction and Training Squadron, Ramstein Air Base, Germany, on a variety of rescue techniques and scenarios including operational risk management, incident management system, ground support for helicopter operations and confined space rescue. This training is vital to keep first responders proficient in procedures, in the event that a rescue requires such skills. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere/Released)
