Firefighters working out on ropes course in Kohl Center

Wisconsin sports teams spend plenty of time practicing in the Kohl Center, and on Monday a special group of Madison firemen will do the same. Instead of training on a court or rink, though, they will use ropes courses to practice some of the more complicated rescues Dane County needs. The Madison Fire Department?s Heavy Urban Rescue Team, which a city news release said uses “complex rescue techniques” to respond to emergencies like building collapses anywhere in the county, will train at the UW-Madison arena Tuesday afternoon.
