Back to On Scene Photos


Matt Powell, Kevin Wineberg, Josie Kalus and Tami McFarland take a break to pose for this photo while taking a Rope I class at the Elk County Rescue Weekend.


Matt Powell can be seen far right in the top picture, preparing to scale the wall back to the top of the spillway, while Josie Kalus poses down in the spillway.


Matt takes a break and finds a perfect use for a Carabiner.... carrying his "Power Ring" (the Police call them donuts).


PA State Fire Academy Instructor Robert "Ziggy" Seager demonstrates a crude harness on willing test subject Tami.


Tami (left) and "Ziggy" (right) watch as other students rappel down the wall of the spillway.


"Ziggy" is head-over-heels about teaching us this stuff.
