GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — As rescuers in Florida search through rubble left behind following the demolition of the collapsed Florida condo, the Grand Rapids Fire Department is looking for ways in which one of its specialized units could learn from the disaster.
“At any instance that call could come in,” said Lt. Matt Dumond. “It’s good that we’re prepared.”
Dumond is one of 36 firefights who are apart of GRFD’S Technical Rescue Team.
Started in the 1990s, it’s a group in which members go through hundreds of hours of training and learn how to respond to structural collapses and trench, confined space, and high-rope rescues.
