Ever see firefighters at work & wonder what the tool is that they're using? If so, you're in the right place for WFC's new weekly Tool Tuesday post!

This week's tool is the Paratech Air Bag. Made from three layers of neoprene-coated aramid fibers, the bag can be inflated to lift & stabilize loads such as cars, tractors and industrial machinery.

WFC owns a six bag set that is housed on Engine 2 with the largest bag being rated to lift 54 tons. Bags can be inflated using SCBA bottles, compressors or even by stealing air from a vehicle tire.

WFC participated in a fire training exercise last night with Adams Fire Company at the Forest Parkway Senior Center. WFC's new ladder truck is an important component of fire incidents at multi-story buildings, both commercial and residential, in the town of Pendleton and in neighboring towns. Training at these buildings is important to determine optimal ladder truck placement for effective use.

Emergencies don’t wait for nice weather, so training can’t either. WFC braved single digit temps earlier this week to practice their ice and cold water rescue skills including both on-shore and off-shore techniques.
