On Sunday April 20, 2008 I had the opportunity to photograph some of Virginia Beach's Finest. First off I would like to thank District Chief Wade, and the rest of the Chiefs and Officers for allowing me access to the training that was being given. The training was being held at the old Lord & Taylor building in the Lynnhaven Mall. Firefighters trained in search and rescue as well as RIT (rapid intervention team) training. The trainers strategically placed 175 pound dummy's throughout the structure with PASS alarms activated to simulate a downed firefighter. The Engine and Ladder teams had to maneuver throughout the structure to find the downed firefighter and drag them to safety.
