Crawling blindly through a smoke-filled building poses many risks and dangers of entanglement for firefighters.
The hazards can be dropped from ceilings or from walls that have broken open and exposed electrical, telephone, speaker or television wires.
And when you are wearing safety gear, a wire can easily become a firefighter trap. If a firefighter can’t find a way to get free, it could cost him his life.
Firefighters recently trained by crawling through a wooden box filled with fixed wires to familiarize themselves with the feeling of being trapped or snared.
The training concept helps firefighters avoid panic and search for alternate ways to free them.
