A month-long Basic Search and Rescue Training conducted by the Fire Rescue Service Division of the Royal Bhutan Police concluded today, with the successful participation of 23 Gyalsups.

Throughout the training, participants gained comprehensive firefighting knowledge and practical skills. In the area of Firefighting Mastery, Gyalsups developed proficiency in hose drills, pump operations, and ladder techniques. They also learned the technical aspects of dividing and breaching, the use of Fire Main Branches (FMB), and executed precise three-person ladder drills.

The training further focused on Specialized Rescue Skills, where, under the guidance of experienced RBP instructors, the Gyalsups practiced essential life-saving techniques such as patient packing, stretcher handling, and the safe use of rappelling and lowering systems.

In addition, emphasis was placed on Modern Safety Standards, particularly the use of Breathing Apparatus (BA) sets. Participants were trained in proper donning and doffing procedures to ensure safe operation in smoke-filled and hazardous environments.

This training marks an important step in enhancing the readiness and capability of Gyalsups to respond effectively to emergencies and contribute to public safety.
