Black panther group conducts search and rescue training
By Ruby P. Silubrico
THE Black Panther Volunteer Group (BPVG) has conducted a two-day training to 56 police personnel of the Iloilo Police Provincial Office (Ippo) at Camp Francisco Sumagaysay, Sta Barbara, Iloilo for search, rescue and relief operations.
The training includes the importance of the course to the police and the community, interpretation of weather forecasts and other atmospheric conditions.
Another training tackled were rescue, retrieval and extraction operation that includes techniques, blank wall scaling specifically on how to climb a blank wall without rope or ladder.
BPVG supreme commander Jeorge Dairo, who spearheaded the training, said this will be applied during fire incident.
The personnel are also being taught the commando crawl, first aid, danger of lightning and how to minimize a danger, weather preparation, methods employed in searching lost persons in the river or at sea.
Dairo said measures of highway vehicular accidents are also taken "because sometimes there are wrong procedures in handling an injured person during car accidents especially on how to extract victims."
Dairo said during the car accident, the rescuer must disconnect the battery or cut off the current to avoid further damage or ignition then determine the leakage and then rescue the victim by determining the injuries of the victims.
He added that in case the victim is inside the car, the rescuer should break the window to retrieve the person.
"These personnel are being trained to be trainors because they will be the ones to teach or train tanod members of what they learned. This is a must to the police incase of emergency," Dairo said.
This training was initiated by Ippo provincial director, Senior Superintendent Efren Quintos.
"This is my personal initiative to teach my mean on how to rescue incase of emergency. They need this training," Quintos said.
