I thought I'd share a little information. We have our own tower climbers. We are often working in remote areas where we provide service. In one of those rare moments when I have time to think, I wondered what kinds of high-angle rescue capabilities the fire departments around us had. Here's what I found out: NONE The closest high-angle rescue units are in at least 1 hour away. If you have an injured climber, 1 hour may be too much. We now have 1000' of 5/8" rescue rope, and a Fisk Descender in house. We are also actively working with a couple of the local fire departments to get them and us properly certified.
