The Spec Ops Blog just inked a partnership with Tom Brigg's to bring you regular rope-rescue excerpts from the full-color, richly-illustrated edition of his just-published—Vertical Academy—a NFPA-compliant rope rescue manual.
Tom Briggs is a fire service veteran of over 33 years and author of Vertical Academy, a vocational rope rescue textbook.
Before retiring as a Captain in 2008, he was assigned to the Special Operations Division at Metro Fire Sacramento, California as the Rescue Services Manager. He was also a Rescue Team Leader for FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Taskforce 7.
An instructor for the State of California and Rescue 3 International, Tom coordinated and taught many training courses specializing in the rope, trench, confined space, and water rescue disciplines to scores of agencies alongside many well-known rescue training luminaries. The National Association of Search and Rescue (NASAR) recognized Tom’s training contributions in 1996 with the Higgins Langley Award.
Look for informative excerpts shortly after the start of the new year. Learn more about Tom Brigg's new book here.
