Ropes Training

Area fire fighters, first responders and law enforcement officers participated in the Ropes Rescue Training Parts 1 and 2 during the first two weekends of September. The training was coordinated by Northwest Technology Center. Training was funded by the Department of Homeland Security. Instructors were provided by Oklahoma State University Fire Service. Approximately 20 students from Alva, Blackwell, Freedom, Boiling Springs and Weatherford received their certifications during the two weekend training.
