🚨🚒 INTERDEPARTMENTAL VEHICLE RESCUE TRAINING 🚒🚨

When the tones drop for a serious motor vehicle accident, training like this makes all the difference.

Today, firefighters and rescuers from across the area came together for an extensive Vehicle Rescue Training session hosted in Coal Township. Despite the heat, crews spent the day sharpening skills, sharing knowledge, and working side-by-side to improve our ability to serve the public when seconds count.

A special thank you to Coal Region Auto for generously providing two vehicles for training: a Volkswagen Golf and a Toyota Sienna minivan. Having real-world vehicles to work on allows rescuers to practice techniques that closely mirror the challenges we face on actual emergency scenes.

We would also like to thank ESI Equipment Inc. for attending and bringing their Holmatro E-Tools, giving participants the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the latest battery-powered rescue equipment.

Participating Departments

Coal Township Fire Department

Chief 102 Mike Timco

Chief 103 Jeff Madden

Union Fire Company – Engine 131

East End Fire Company – Engine 121

Brady Fire Company – Engine 151

Coal Township Rescue Squad – Rescue 193

Overlook Fire Company – Truck 294

East Cameron Fire Company – Engine 355

Training Topics Covered

🔹 Cribbing and scene safety

🔹 Hydraulic spreaders, cutters, and combi-tools

🔹 Holmatro battery-powered (E-Hydraulic) spreaders, cutters, and combi-tools

🔹 Safe glass management using glass punches, electric glass cutters, and traditional tools

🔹 Hi-Lift jack operations

🔹 Hydraulic jack operations

🔹 Auto cribbing techniques

🔹 Dash rolls

🔹 Roof rolls

🔹 Rear tent evolutions

🔹 Additional vehicle rescue and extrication techniques

🔹 Equipment familiarization and tool locations on Truck 294 and Rescue 193

Training together builds stronger relationships, improves interoperability, and ensures that when multiple departments respond to a major incident, everyone can work seamlessly as one team.

A heartfelt thank you to our neighboring departments, especially those who traveled from outside Coal Township, for spending part of their day training alongside us in the summer heat. The dedication shown by everyone involved demonstrates the commitment our region's emergency responders have to providing the highest level of service to our communities.

Train together. Learn together. Respond together.
