Title

Congratulations to the Coral Gables Fire Department Extrication Team, on their success at the “2015 National Traffic Incident Extrication Challenge,” during the week of October 28, 2015.

Body

The "2015 National Traffic Incident Extrication Challenge" held in Clearwater, Florida, included up to twenty rescue teams from all over North America, South America, and Europe who participated in a team based scenario training exercise designed to promote good team dynamics, improve communications and increase rescue scene proficiency.  Each team consisted of six members, the team leader, a medic, two technical rescue personnel and one person responsible for both medical and technical operations support.

All teams competed in two scenarios and additional training evolutions.  This challenge is a World Rescue Organization sanctioned event and participation qualifies teams for further national and international Rescue Challenges.

Awards were given to the top team in each evolution and the overall top combined score.  The Coral Gables Fire Department Extrication Team won:  1^st Place in the Unlimited Tools Scenario; 3^rd Place in the Best Medical Team; and 4^th Place in the Overall Top Combined Score.
