NorthStar's Smalls Falls Training Sept. 21 2008

Instructor D.K. gives a safety briefing before a day of multi-level rope rescue training at Small Falls in Madrid, Maine. Participants included NorthStar members, local fire departments and Franklin SAR.

Students rig a litter and ropes for a mechanical advantage raise.





Many rescue agencies in this part of Maine open their training up to other groups whenever possible because cross-training makes us more familiar with each other, creates a common knowledge base and is much more fun!
