One of the more dangerous situations one can be in, what nature takes a swift change and does more damage the the structure can handle. We have attended such events like the Pine Lake Tornado and the Canmore slide. We try our best at making the situation safer so it can be accessed to retrieve injured people or possibly retrieve important personal items, keeping in mind it is still dangerous so access is kept to a minimum to keep us safe. This only makes it safer for a short time, the next day this may change and be unsafe again so never access one of the building after we are gone.

When ever possible engineers will let us know where to place the proper supports for the situation. Sometimes that is not a safe possibility so we will decide in the moment what needs to be supported but that is also why this is one of the most extensive courses in rescue and one of the hardest courses to stay current in as things are always changing.
