Here are some rescue photographs. As many of you know, Dr Becker is on a rope
rescue team. (T.R.A.C.E.R. - Technical Rope and Cave Emergency Response)
The enclosed photographs are from training scenarios.
TRACER is involved in three different types of rescues. The photographs
above demonstrate "high angle" rescues of persons trapped on a high ledge and
possibly injured, or stuck on a rope due to equipment failure.
Another type of rescue involves caves. Below is a cave rescue sequence.
This rescue scenario occured in Breckenridge County. The first photograph
shows packaging the patient for hypothermia.
Next, the patient is moved along the tight passages.
Below, the patient is then rigged for vertical lift up a pit and raised using a haul
system from other rescue personel located above in the main room.
Finally, the patient is moved through the main room and back to the earths surface.
TRACER is also involved in Swift Water rescues. This will become very important
during the spring flooding. TRACER recently became affiliated with Bullitt County as
their technical rope rescue team. In this photograph, water rescue training is
taking place.
TRACER is very important to Dr Becker. It sometimes takes her away from the
veterinary practice. We only hope that clients understand.
