At the SA Recycling facility in Huntsville, AL, the Huntsville Fire Department utilized the Huntsville yard for a three-day intensive heavy rescue training session. They invited three distinct heavy rescue teams to execute the task of removing a substantial concrete block and "rescuing" the practice dummies positioned within the vehicles. The crews were not informed of the setup in advance, requiring them to formulate and execute a plan on the spot. This exercise aimed to replicate an incident from the previous year in Alabama, where a delivery truck entered a parking garage it couldn't fit into, resulting in a large concrete slab collapsing onto the truck's cab. After the training concluded, the teams convened to review their successes and exchange insights on the various techniques employed. Observing each team's unique approach to addressing the identical challenge was particularly enlightening.
