VIDEO: Firefighters are scaling new heights in Santa Barbara. Nine stories to be exact. “We’ve been looking at this thing out of our station one window … all talking about what we would do if something happened," said Fire Training Captain Jeremy Denton of Santa Barbara Public Safety. The Santa Barbara City Fire is practicing their climbing skills at Sanctuary Centers' new building project site, located in the lot behind West Anapamu Street. “Round of people that were coming through with just getting up there … seeing what would happen if maybe the operator had a medical aid and we had to go up there and get them down," said Denton. Fire engine crews will be rotating through this training in the next few weeks. The crane's presence offers firefighters a unique opportunity to practice their rescue and first-aid skills in an extreme scenario.
