This year, firefighters had to, while in full turnout gear and BA, climb a ladder to the second floor of the training tower that was filled with smoke. Enter the window checking the safety of the floor, begin a room search for victims. During the search, netting was dropped on you to simulate ceiling collapsing on you and trapping you. The firefighter then has to properly call for a MAYDAY providing all the correct information for personnel to rescue them.
