Last Tuesday, August 18th, members of the Westport Community Volunteer Fire Department spent the evening training on vehicle extrication.
Howell Rescue Systems Inc. brought out Genesis Rescue Systems extrication equipment for us to demo and train with. This gave our members the opportunity to work with some of the latest extrication technology available and get hands-on time cutting, spreading, and working through different rescue techniques.
Members from Adams Township Fire Department also joined us for the training to demo the equipment and freshen up their extrication skills.
Training like this is important to us. Vehicle construction and rescue equipment continue to change, and we want to make sure our firefighters stay up to date, keep improving their skills, and are prepared to provide the best service we can when our community needs us.
A special thank you to Howell Rescue Systems Inc. for taking the time to come out, provide the equipment, and work with our firefighters. We would also like to thank Tim’s Wrecker Service for providing the vehicles used during the training. We appreciate everyone who helped make the evening possible.
