Final goodbye.

Today our 2003 Saulsbury Typhoon Engine left us headed for Texas. Engine 1 served the Town of Spafford for 23 years. It was the first enclosed cab engine for Spafford Fire Department, and the first CAFS engine in the district. It responded on many fires and incidents both within the district and mutual aid to our neighbors. It will be a legacy in the departments history books.

Last nights training scenario was gaining access to a vehicle that was wedged into a ditch with no access through the doors. We use concrete blocks to simulate a ditch. Members using the spreaders and cutters gained access through the back and then removed the roof to get to the passenger compartment. We have dealt with vehicles upside down and sideways in ditches, but never wedged into the ditch right side up, and having to remove a victim. Smaller cars could be the real challenge due to the depth of some ditches and size of the car. Great participation by all.
