The Knoxville Township Rural Fire Department will be conducting unique training this Sunday.
Bob Pelong, training officer for the department says they will be rappelling from the Knoxville Raceway Grandstands and practicing other unconventional rescue operations. Pelong says it is important to prepare for unusual life-saving situations. Several area fire departments will participate in the training, which is being facilitated by Professional Rescue Innovations, a company which specializes in training departments in non-traditional techniques.
