This week’s training focused on vehicle extrication and stabilization techniques using the Jaws of Life.

Centreville Fire Rescue members, along with members from Lakeville Fire Department, participated in hands-on training designed to build confidence and proficiency in vehicle rescue operations. A special thank you goes to Firefighter Mike Corcoran for sharing his knowledge and providing excellent instruction throughout the evening.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to T&T Automotive Repair & Heavy Towing for allowing us to use their facility and several vehicles for training. Community support like this is invaluable and helps ensure our members are prepared when called upon during real emergencies.

Centreville Fire Rescue is the primary provider of heavy vehicle extrication (Jaws of Life) services for the west side of the Saint John River within the District of Carleton North. Lakeville Fire Department also has a combi-tool and the ability to perform vehicle stabilization and basic extrication techniques. This capability allows Lakeville firefighters to initiate stabilization efforts and begin rescue operations while Centreville crews are responding to incidents requiring heavy extrication resources.

Training together strengthens the partnership between our departments and helps ensure we are prepared to provide the highest level of service when our communities need us most.

Centreville Fire Rescue would like to congratulate two of our members on successfully completing their Medical First Responder (MFR) training.

This intensive 40+ hour course provides additional medical knowledge and skills that allow our members to deliver a higher level of care during medical emergencies. MFR training helps bridge the gap between basic first aid and the arrival of Ambulance New Brunswick, allowing firefighters to provide critical care and assist paramedics and EMTs when every second counts.

We are proud of these members for dedicating their personal time and effort to further their education and better serve our community.

All Centreville Fire Rescue members are trained in First Aid and CPR. In addition, several of our members have advanced medical training at the MFR, EMT, and Paramedic levels, helping us provide enhanced emergency medical support to the residents we serve.

Congratulations on your achievement, and thank you for your commitment to Centreville Fire Rescue and our community.

If you have a vehicle you would be willing to donate or sell for scrap value, please let us know. We are willing to pay scrap value if needed and can arrange pickup of the vehicle.

These training opportunities are extremely valuable for helping our members practise and maintain the skills needed for real emergency situations.

It’s been a busy few weeks at Centreville Fire Rescue with members continuing training and professional development both on and off the fireground.

Over the past couple weeks, members participated in pump operations and flowing water training while several firefighters completed Level 1 JPR sign-offs. Our Chiefs also attended the NBAFC Convention in Moncton over the weekend.

We were honoured to host Marc & Shari Carey for their PTSD presentation, which was very well attended and extremely eye-opening. We appreciate them travelling to Centreville to share their story and experiences.

In addition, two of our members have been attending a 40-hour Medical First Responder (MFR) course and will soon be testing for certification, further expanding the medical capabilities within our coverage area.
