Brayton Firemen’s Training
Field has a unique street with
several buildings in various
stages of destruction.
Appropriately called Disaster
Street, it was constructed by
man-made or natural disasters,
says John R. Rauch, Firemen’s
Training instructor.
Rauch said the disaster street
contains structures that were two
and one-half stories high, some
that were two stories and one
that was one story high.
All are designed to look as if
they had been destroyed by ex
plosions or by violent storms.
The buildings are used to teach
trainees rescue methods employed
to save lives from heights.
The gib arm and the telpher
line are two of several methods
used to rescue people from
heights. If the roof of the
building has not been destroyed,
the gib arm is used. This parti
cular method makes the use of
block and tackle which is at
tached to the big arm anchored

cable or rope attached to a win
dow or the roof of the wrecked
building and anchored to the
ground 200 feet away. A pulley
is fastened to the line and the
victims, strapped in stretchers
slide down the line to the ground.
Rauch said the basement ad
joining one building is probably
the most sophisticated structure
on Disaster Street. This parti
cular basement is constructed to
simulate three different types of
floor collapse.
In the V-collapse, the floor
buckles in the middle and crashes
down. The sides of the floor
remain attached and create voids
where possible survivors might
be found.
One floor collapse is created
when three sides of the floor fall
down. One side remains at
tached and under this, space may
be available for possible escape
from injury, Rauch said.
The pancake collapse often
creates the most injuries because
all four sides of the floor cut
loose and fall. The only sur
vivors may be those lucky enough
to dive under sturdy furniture
which would not give way under
the weight of the fallen floor,
Rauch explained.
In rescue training classes
trainees are taught to recognize
the different types of collapses
so they can quickly spot the
areas where there might be sur
vivors and bring them out.
Physical facilities and equip
ment of Disaster Street were pro
vided by the State of Texas with
the assistance of the Federal Of
fice of Civilian Defense and Tex
