Vehicle Rescue Training Tuesday Evening

Tuesday evening your Plymouth Fire Company No. 1 (Montco 43) volunteers spent their weekly drill night sharpening their skills on vehicle rescue.

Personnel trekked over to Bowe's Exxon Car Care Center's salvage yard and spent time reviewing and practicing with some of our new Paratech Fire & Rescue Equipment rescue stuts. Members then went to work through various scenarios and situations involving simulated entanglement of patients entrapped within vehicles in mutliple positions. Crews then utilized our battery powered HURST Jaws of Life E-draulic rescue tools to systematically remove portions of the vehicles.

A special THANK YOU as always to Kevin and his crew from EVB Towing for allowing us to use your facilities, for donating the vehicles and for the delicious pizza you treated our members to following training!

 
Units: ENGINE 43, LADDER 43, SQUIRT 43, TRAFFIC 43
