Virginia Beach firefighters from the city’s Technical Rescue Team made their way across a wire system suspended over Columbus Street between the 38-story Westin Hotel in Town Center and the parking garage of Dick’s Sporting Goods. It’s the first time the department has practiced the rescue scenario at The Westin, which towers over the rest of the city at 508 feet tall.
