On Tuesday, June 23rd, our Rescue Truck "Big Red" and Captain Mike Porter traveled to the Harrington Fire Co., Inc. for a Show and Tell style training. The Show and Tell provides local fire companies with the ability to see the types of tools and equipment Big Red carries and the Team utilizes, which are much different than the traditional fire engine. We thank the Officers and Members of Station 50 for the hospitality and opportunity to explain more about our Team!

🚧🚨 MONTHLY TRAINING 🚨🚧

The Team held its monthly training on Saturday June 20th at Cheswold Volunteer Fire Company and reviewed Trench Operations. This month, we were joined by Kent County Delaware Dept. of Public Works Waste Water Management personnel, who developed and broadened their skills in regards to trench rescue scenarios. Together, everyone worked to affect a rescue of a downed worker in an approximate 9-1/2' trench, to include simultaneously administering ALS care by our teammates and partners - Kent County Department of Public Safety Paramedics.

On Saturday, April 25th, the Team assisted the Cheswold Volunteer Fire Company, Citizens' Hose Company No. 1 Inc. of Smyrna, DE, and Leipsic Vol. Fire Company with commercial vehicle extrications. The Team was able to review lifting concepts, including fulcrums, and the traditional airbags vs. our Paratech Fire & Rescue Equipment hydrofusions and struts. A special thank you to Station 43 for the invite and McKinney's Towing & Road Service for hosting!

On Friday April 10th at 1701 hours, the Team was requested to assist the Sussex County Technical Rescue Team and Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. with a Confined Space Rescue. Initial reports were of two individuals in a grain silo engulfed by corn; first arriving units arrived and confirmed the same. The Team worked in conjunction with the SCTRT, New Castle County Special Operations High Angle and Confined Space Rescue Team, and multiple other agencies through the evening.

On Wednesday April 1st, just before 2000 hours, the Team was requested to assist the Clayton Fire Company NO.1 Inc. with a reported Structure Collapse. Command 45 arrived and confirmed a tree down on the Charlie Side of the structure, with all occupants accounted for. Special Ops resources found the same - a manufactured home, under renovation, with a tree down on the Charlie Side and partial intrusion through the roof. Due to the ongoing renovations, it was determined that the best plan of action would be to request the local Building Inspector for further analysis.

Special Ops team members spent Saturday afternoon reviewing Trench Rescue Operations at Delaware State Fire School, led by Training Officer and Team Captain Michael Porter. Captain Porter built a scale model of a "T" trench, trench panels, struts, and walers, which provided excellent table-top training scenarios.
