Windham Tech Rescue Call for a Women Over the Bank

The site of where a 27 year old female went over
the bank by the K of C.

The bank goes down to the river at over a 40 degree angle.
The river is about 60 feet down and the female
was at the bottom.

A look from the other side across the river.

Where the boat went in up the river.

The call went out as a mva, then the driver ran from the car and went over the bank and down the hill. Car 3 started the Windham Tech Rescue team and South Windham's boat. Car 3 started Willimantic's boat and Rescue also. North Windham's Rescue was started and on scene in minutes and went to work in the rain. We started to get to work on getting down the hill

to help one of the Windham Center fire fighter's that was doing patient care. Willimantic's boat came down the river and we got the female in the boat and across the river to Willimantic's ambulance.

JOLT Competition

Teams of 4-5 firefighters trying to get the best time of taking off two doors and a dash push.
Some of the best times were less than 5 minutes.


A team of four working to take two doors off at the 2009 JOLT competition on Long Island .


Starting off in the window to pop the door.

An old FDNY ambulance that was there for

the Terry Farrell firefighters scholarship fund.

PRE PLAN FATAL FIRE

Over under apartments, four building in one when fire breaks out.

Thing to look for: gas line on the side and a basement access.

Back of the apartment on the top floor has a deck that has no stairs off of it.

There was a fatal fire in this apartment complex last year on Long Island that made me think of taking pictures of the buildings.

PRE PLAN WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Can you find the building at night for a call?

The building is a 16 apartment house that has four doors per unit over under.


This is a look from the end unit to the road.

From the road to the end unit, the unit is more than 200 feet to the end. That is a 2 1/2 to the door with a Wye.
