USS Salem Technical Rescue Exercise at Quincy Shipyard

On Wednesday, October 9, 2024, Tech Rescue Firefighters from Cambridge, Chelsea, Brockton, Quincy, Revere, & Somerville Fire Departments participated in a Technical Rescue exercise on the USS Salem in Quincy at the Fore River Shipyard. Following the safety & ops briefing & securing of equipment, all firefighters worked on tech rescue skills including confined space rescue & hi-angle/rope rescue on this US Navy heavy cruiser. 
Note that as part of the confined space operation, air quality was monitored continually for O2 levels & presence of other gases. As in all tech rescue skills, the operation is all about teamwork and communication. The members from the various fire departments operated seamlessly as one team.
Special Thank you to the crew of the USS Salem for the hospitality.
