Training took place at the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Training Center.  Here, Engine 1 idles in front of the burn building.

Behind the burn building is the rescue simulator.  It allows training on a variety of rescue situations.  In the Denver drill, firefighters must remove an unconscous victim through a window.  Here, FF Mike McMurrer is the victim.

PFF Josh Lee maneuvers inside the tight confines to reach FF McMurrer and begin the process of getting him rescued.

FF McMurrer is being passed through the window to waiting rescuers on the outside.

He was "carefully" placed on the ground!

Next,  Captain Wayne Whetsell begins the process of rescuing FF Anthony Jackson.  Rescuing a "husky" firefighter utilizes the same techniques; it just requires a little more manpower!

Here, FF J. C. Blaylock works to get FF Jackson up on his feet so he can be moved out through the window.

With a heave and ho, he's out the window!

PFF Josh Lee was next to be rescued.

He's doing a good imitation of a possum.
