"First responders from a number of towns spent several hours on some rides at Funtown Friday, but it wasn't for fun.They were training for technical issues.Click here for videoCrews from Biddeford, Saco and Old Orchard Beach worked on a few scenarios -- including how to respond if someone is stuck at the top of Excalibur in one of the roller coaster cars and a person who had climbed about halfway up the slide.They said the training is invaluable.\"They don't happen often, but when they do, they're very manpower-intensive, and they require a lot of training.\u00A0 Alone we could never have done it, but together with the three communities, with cost sharing and sharing skills and training, we're able to put together such a team,\" said Dep. Chief Scott Gagne, with the Biddeford Fire Department.This is the third time the team has trained together.They said the chose to do it at Funtown because of the height of the rides -- adding the experience is also useful for climbing structures like cell towers."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
