I have read with great interest other posts mentioning the St. Louis(?) and Denver(?) drills. At the risk of sounding ignorant... (I'm already ducking the blows...) What ARE those drills? (It's no excuse, but remember, here in west Texas the Pony Express just quit last month.) I would appreciate any info or a lead on where I can find out about them. Thanks in advance for the info...and for tempering the blows!

Not sure about the St. Louis drill, but the Denver Drill I was referring to is a technique to move a firefighter up and out of a window from a very tight place. Developed after the LODD of a Denver firefighter in the early '90's.
