PATUXENT RIVER (Feb. 21, 2019) - Firefighters from NAS Patuxent River prepare to be lowered into a narrow hole Feb. 21 during a 33-hour Technical Rescue/Confined Space Training class. Using an aluminum fuel tank as a prop, fire fighters were suited up in harnesses with rope and breathing apparatus and lowered via winch into a narrow hole in the tank. Confined spaces at Pax River might include manholes, pits, water tanks, aircraft and any below- or above-grade space.
