Mohegan Tribal Conducts Joint Elevator Rescue Training

Nov 10, 2026

On Mon., October 26, 2026, the Mohegan Tribal Fire Department hosted a joint training with the City of Norwich and Mashantucket Pequot Fire Departments.  Their training reviewed the Arizona Vortex in a “Doortex” configuration, rope systems, and the use of a Harkin Winch for elevator rescues. Special thanks to Deputy Chief Jason Erban from Norwich and MTFD Deputy Chief Seney for coordinating this training.  Conducting training with our neighboring and mutual-aid partners is vital to safe and efficient rescue operations.
