Local fire crews experience distress rescue training

GENESEE COUNTY (WJRT) -

(03/09/13) - Firefighters from around Genesee County are undergoing intense training to better protect themselves in the face of danger.

It's called Rapid Intervention Team training.

The R.I.T. training is a hands on experience involving the search and rescue of firefighters in distress.

Last weekend, they spent time in the classroom. This Saturday, it's all about training in real life situations.

Two-thirds of the money for the R.I.T. training came from a grant from The Community Foundation of Greater Flint.
