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.

Demo Night with the RES-Q-JACK

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 ground so 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.

Looking good on Memorial Day

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.
