The New John Deere Gator






A look at the new John Deere Gator. The Town of Windham Emergency Management Department is getting each of the three Windham Volunteer Fire Depts their own Gator. Two will have pump tanks and one will have a medical bed.

Car over the bank drill


This is what the members rolled up to see at the training,
one car over the bank.
The members had to extricate one person from the under side of the car and the driver from the driver seat.

The car was stablized with three of the four point struts from Res-Q-Jack.

The members cut the roof off with the Hurst Jaws of Life (new) Moc 2 Cutters and a Sawsall.

I'm seeing if the car is still safe to work around, it was still stable.
