The mission pictured here not only requires firefighters to retrieve victims but also stabilize trench walls and monitor for collapsing so that both rescue victims and firefighters emerge safely.
Barrie firefighting crews spent the day underground on Thursday as part of their semi-annual training for trench rescue.
