We really didn’t have any idea as to what we were getting ourselves into. All three of met in a restaurant in Eastern Washington (Grand Coulee Dam… just a small little reclamation site) to discuss the possibilities of doing something nobody had done yet… film high angle rope rescue skills training workshop with the same production equipment used in the making of Titanic and Spiderman and other movies. Rick Johnson of Fluid Images and Reed Thorne of Ropes That Rescue were all on board, so with the third member of the team, myself with Rescue Response Gear, we all formed Highline Productions.

Our first project was slated to be tower rescue for emergency response units and the second for tower workers. As a logical jump off, the projects would include the needs of the fire service, search and rescue, industrial workers, tower workers, rope access personnel and law enforcement. The results were spectacular. Reed nailed the skills portion and Fluid nailed the production and Highline came through with the marketing and distribution side of things.

All that was in 2004… thousands have seen and used both rescue DVDs and learned the techniques well; both as a adjunct to their own training, or as para curriculum to other training organizations or programs. As with all technological advancements, some things need to move over a bit to make room for other advancements. That new addition is digital downloads. So, without further ado… introducing Tower Rescue For Emergency Responders Digital Download.

Also, be looking for the release of Tower Rescue for Tower Workers Digital Download due out in February 2011, as well as a host of other releases due out in 2011.
