Trench Collapse Rescue Training

Members of the Boston Fire Department’s seven technical rescue companies, as well as members from the Cambridge and Quincy fire departments, participated in this year’s trench collapse program. The members trained on rescuing victims from a straight wall trench as well as T and L trenches. The classroom instruction and equipment familiarization training was conducted at the BFD’s training academy on Moon Island and the trench collapse scenarios were conducted on Long Island.
