Canines Trained for Rope Operations

Units from Fire and Rescue Station 14, Burke, A-Shift recently assisted K9 handlers from Virginia Task Force -1 and the Prince William Police Department on a drill regarding rope operations. It is important to expose the canines to heights so that during actual deployments the K9 team is familiar with how to work during this type of operation. All the canines end the training with a fun "find" on the rubble pile.
