SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PA – On Saturday, November 18 crews from throughout Schuylkill County met at an acquired structure in the Borough of Gilberton to participate in the final day of Rapid Intervention Team advanced training.  The class was taught by Father Bill Glosser with help from Kevin Sibbett and Steve Schneider.  The class was open for registration for all companies throughout the county.

Firefighters from Englewood, Llewellyn, Mahanoy City (Citizens and West End) and Pottsville attended the class and were able to learn many tips and practice their skills.  Five situations were given to the class where they had to rescue trapped or injured firefighters from inside the building.
