Joint extrication training today with Fairland.
Crews had the opportunity to work on a school bus and work on different techniques for window removal, seat removal, side blowout, and dash roll. We used different tools, discussed strengths, weaknesses ,what works and what doesn’t.

Huge thank you to Shelbyville Central Schools for donating the bus.
Pleasant View Towing for facilitating the tow and allowing us to use your facility yet again.
Fairland Fire Department for joining us today for training.

We are blessed to have the members we have, the equipment we carry, the neighbors we work with, and a community that supports us!

EXTRICATION TRAINING
Extrication, a game of inches, is a very technical skill that’s required in the fire service.
Last night, members traveled to Pleasant View Towing to work on our skills in this discipline.
Members had the opportunity to work on a newer Subaru, as well as an older Chrysler. Each of which presents its own challenges. Newer vehicles incorporate harder metals in strategic locations for stability, as well as multiple airbags along most areas we work.
We were fortunate to have this vehicle donated to our department by Subaru of America, through Ivy Tech. This Subaru was a preproduction Crosstrek, and was acquired by Firefighter Gilkerson who is an instructor at IvyTech in the automotive department.
The second vehicle was provided by Pleasant View Towing. We appreciate the continued support of Pleasant View Towing, as they allow us on their lot whenever we need to do training.

Last night's training focused on an essential part of vehicle extrication: stabilization before the rescue begins.

Members worked with struts, airbags, and cribbing to practice safely stabilizing vehicles and creating a solid, secure working environment for extrication operations. The hands-on training gives firefighters the opportunity to build confidence in selecting and properly utilizing stabilization equipment when we respond to an emergency. Last night's training focused on an essential part of vehicle extrication: stabilization before the rescue begins.

Proper stabilization is critical to protecting both patients and rescuers during a vehicle extrication. Training on these skills helps ensure our members are prepared to work safely and efficiently when the call comes in.

Another great night of hands-on training!
