This is pretty cool: Rope training with Sudbury firefighters (video)

Check out the POV footage of the action 180-feet off the ground

Some of Sudbury's finest (and by fine, I mean fiiiine) took training to a whole new level — 18 storeys high, to be exact.

Greater Sudbury Firefighters participated in height-based rope training by repelling off the roof of the Rockview Tower on Ramsey View Court on Sept. 15.

Check out the video above to see some POV footage of the action. 

This type of training was a first for the Greater Sudbury Fire Service.

"We've done some low-angle, low-slope rescue techniques already," Greater Sudbury Fire training officer Chris Zawierzeniec said.

"But as for high-angle and the basket work that we're doing today, it's the first that we've seen here."

The technical training was led by the Spartan Response team from Grimsby, Ontario.
