🚒 ENGINE OPS 🚒

Did you know Township Six has a maze prop built by our own firefighters?

Throughout September, our firefighters have been focusing on engine operations and improving our skills in all aspects of engine company work.

Thursday night’s training focused on MAYDAY and Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) operations. Utilizing our maze prop, firefighters were sent into smoke-filled, zero-visibility conditions. During each evolution, a team member would go down, requiring the crew to work together to locate, package, and remove the downed firefighter.

Training like this allows our crews to practice communication, teamwork, and firefighter rescue techniques in challenging conditions.

Township Six Fire Department is committed to staying trained and proficient in all aspects of the job so we can better serve our community and assist our neighboring departments when called upon.

Twenty-five years ago, our nation was forever changed.

Today, we remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, including 343 members of the FDNY, 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department, and 23 members of the NYPD.

We remember the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, military members, and countless civilians who answered the call in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

For many, “Never Forget” is more than a phrase. It is a promise to remember those who were lost, those who ran toward danger, and those whose lives were forever changed.

We will never forget.

Why firefighters stay low

We recently added this visual training aid at the station to help demonstrate how dramatically conditions can change with height during a structure fire.

As heat and smoke rise, temperatures increase, oxygen levels decrease, and toxic gases such as carbon monoxide can become much more concentrated. Keeping a victim’s airway as low as practical can significantly improve survivability while crews work to remove them from the building.

This project was inspired by the “Victim Stick” concept shared by South Metro Fire Rescue, along with research conducted by the UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI).

Fire safety reminder: If you encounter smoke while escaping a fire, stay low, get outside quickly, and stay outside. Close doors behind you when possible

⭐️ ANIMAL RESCUE ⭐️

At approximately 0430 this morning, Township Six was dispatched, along with Cherry Point and Havelock Fire, to the 200 block of Belltown Road for a reported garage fire. During dispatch, units were advised that approximately three dogs and 20 cats were inside the residence.

Havelock Fire units arrived on scene, located the fire, and kept it contained to a dryer, resulting in minimal damage to the house. Township Six assisted Havelock Fire and Cherry Point with locating and removing approximately 15 cats and ventilating the structure.

Township Six operated on scene for approximately one hour before being released by Havelock Fire. Township Six responded with nine personnel and three apparatus.
