Fire fighters get last-minute instruction in their new bailout gear Oct. 7 in the Rutgers Plaza parking lot.

Firefighters from East Franklin and Community fire departments converged on the Rutgers Plaza parking lot Oct. 7 for training in newly purchased gear designed to save their lives.

Called bailout gear, the equipment consists of rope, a hook, a device to aid in descending the rope and a carabiner, which is a metal lop that can be opened on one side. Fire fighters use the equipment to quickly exit upper floors in buildings when a fire becomes too dangerous to stay.
