Local first responders participate in a technical rescue exercise at the Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport.
Firefighters utilized ropes to reach a second story window in the training tower, before dropping down into a confined manhole to rescue a patient.
Assistant Chief Eric Coleman says these rope rescue techniques could be deployed in a rural or industrial setting.
The Daviess County Fire Department and Owensboro Fire Department provide mutual aid to neighboring communities, as needed.
