Tulsa Firefighters Practice High Angle Rope Rescues

Tulsa's firefighters took training to a whole new level Wednesday.

They were out at Chandler Park practicing high angle rope rescues about five stories high.

The class teaches crews the technical aspects of climbing, while showing them how to safely provide medical aid while suspended in the air.

"In the last couple years we've had three or four incidents out here at Chandler Park. We had a car go off the edge, we had a guy hanging off this point right here, so it does happen," said Tula Fire Captain R.B Ellis.

After finishing up at the park, crews will head over to west Tulsa to train on a radio antenna.
