I met so many amazing people in those couple of days. Too many to mention here. I will mention two for now because they were so kind to give me their drone footage to use.
First, Drone Secours Bruxelles. Check him out on Instagram:

And second and definitely not least! Vincent Firelife. What a man! It was a pleasure to work with you! Go check out his amazing youtube channel @VincentFireLife where he lives at the Bruxelles fire fighter station and makes reports on the fires they fight.

From the Grimpday website:
Grimpday is an international challenge that brings together search and rescue teams from around the world (firefighters, civil defense, military, and police). The event took place in Brussels, Walibi and Namur, Belgium, where teams competed against each other through exercises involving the unique elements related to search and rescue in hazardous environments. This event was created in 2006 by members of Namur’s regional fire department.
The general opinion is that Grimpday has become a reference in the world of rope rescue. The closing evening’s awards ceremony has never seen such enthusiasm, and event organizers are already busy coming up with new ideas for the next edition…

For the 11 challenges done by 24 teams I must have witnessed 24 different executions per challenge. Some not good enough, most were good and a few were outstanding solutions. As I have said before, there a multiple different methods as long as you understand the principles of a given task.
What a week!!
