Rescue Street :
In 1952 the civil defense training center in Olney, MD "was reorganized and equipped for basic and advanced rescue training for wardens, firemen, and rescue squads.... Trainees learn rescue methods and perform actual rescue operations in five buildings build to duplicate conditions of collapse or ruin such as might result from enemy attack or natural disaster... Exercised performed by the students include rescue of 'victims' from upper stories of multistory buildings, from flooded basements, and from beneath collapsed floors and piles of rubble. Rescue methods under special hazards such as fire and exposed live electric wires also are studied". (FCDA, Annual Report for 1952, p. 69)
