Eric Ashburn, the assistant chief of the Walker County Fire Department, observes Georgian Emergency Management Services first responders repel down a mountain side during the Rope Rescue One course held in Racha, Georgia. The course, which is taught in two separate classes include introduction to rope rescue and introduction to technical rescue.
