Sapa Extrusion recently partnered with the fire departments from Ward 1 and Delhi on confined space training and rescue.
There were 10 participants from Delhi and 10 from Ward One. This was excellent participation as these are both volunteer fire departments. Sapa had their cast house personnel involved. They shut production so employees could conduct the drill in the casting pit.
The drill was successful and both sides learned tremendously of what it takes to make this type of rescue. Many notes were taken and Sapa is working on the implementation of several ideas and requests. Once the company completes this, they will host another drill to test new ideas and requests.
