🚨 Joint Training Recap: High-Speed MVA Extrication 🚨
Last night, the East Brooklyn Fire Department teamed up with Mortlake Fire Company for an intensive, scenario-based Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) drill at the Brooklyn Transfer Station.
📋 The Scenario
A single vehicle traveling at approximately 60 mph struck a stopped semi-truck while traveling on RTE 6.
Driver: 29-year-old restrained driver with physical entrapment.
Passenger: 26-year-old unrestrained passenger in the rear seat.
🎯 The Objective
Rapid scene size-up, medical triage, physical extrication, and patient care.
Our crews rolled up as they would on a real call, quickly assessing the scene, identifying patient priority levels, requesting necessary additional resources, and executing safe, effective extrications for both patients while delivering immediate medical care.
Joint training like this keeps our skills sharp, ensures smooth multi-agency coordination, and gives our newer members hands-on experience in complex rescue operations.
