Virginia Beach Fire Department conducted a Tower Rescue Class today.  The firefighters conducted training on a 300-foot radio tower behind fire station 16 on Rosemont & South Plaza Trail.  Fire officials say this type of training is needed as fire fighters are often the first responders when people get stuck or hurt in high places and need a way down.
