The Kentucky Fire Commission's Survival and Rescue House made its way to the Paducah Fire Department Friday for special training of the department's latest recruits.

The Survival and Rescue House provides for a series of different situations which include doors, windows, and structural framework on two levels which simulate actual case histories where firefighters became trapped and failed to escape.

The skills in this class allow firefighters to use self-rescue techniques as well as team strategies to help those that could be trapped in a burning building.

Firefighters are shown different techniques that can be used when the primary escape route becomes blocked, or if they are caught in a rapidly deteriorating situation.

Participation in this class is aimed at helping firefighters understand how they can become trapped in structures and how to safely perform a rescue which could possibly save the lives of the crew.
