Willimantic Fire Dept's new ambulance (R-501) with the Town of Windham on the back. Our Chief and some NWFD members looking over the rig before it gets to town.
Windham Fire Marshal's new toy- a light trailer/generator
for emergency management of the Town of Windham
A NWFD member (nickname Bink) looks at a skid unit that may go in one of the gators the three Windham Fire Depts are getting. Two are going to have water and one will be a med unit.
Monday night drill - The new Res-Q-Jacks came in. Kevin from Firematic Supply did a demo on how the jacks work. As you can see the Asst Chief's hard at work...
The jacks on a rolled over station wagon. The roof of the car is off the groundso we can cut the roof off. The Chief always has to be on top of things
The Res-Q-Jacks are part of the rescue grant from Homeland Security.
Me and Maxim, the fire house pup, looking as good as we can on Memorial Day. We are in front of the make of fire truck that Maxim got his name from. The city of Willimantic has two of these trucks still, an engine and a ladder truck. The ladder is the truck that I'm in front of, and the one below is Engine 301.
