As a member of Slingerlands Fire Department from 1991 to 2005, I specialized in heavy rescue - the operation that gets
victims out of dangerous situations. Heavy rescue operations included motor vehicle extrications, high and low
angle rope rescues, ice rescues, cave rescues, confined space rescues and swift water rescues.
I have served the Capital District Urban/Technical Search and Rescue Team (CDUTSAR) since 1999 - a team operated by the State of New York as N.Y. Task Force 2 and manned by volunteer and career firefighters
from a wide area surrounding the Capital District. CDUTSAR specializes in catastrophic building collapse and was
one of the first units of its kind at "Ground Zero". My experiences at "Ground Zero" were reported by the New York Law
Journal - click here.
