Last Monday, RFD members took part in a 2 part drill on vehicle extrication. Mondays drill was focused on vehicle stabilization and door removal. Next drill will be for roof removal. Members were familiarized with proper stabilization and basic Hurst tool operations with the Edraulic tools. The Rescue Squad is the leading role in all entrapments and technical rescue events. The FD supports their efforts and protects the operation with fire suppression. There are times when members of the FD are asked to assist in the operation and this series will allow our members to become more familiar with their operation and equipment. Thank you to the Rescue members, Chris Rago and Joe Manfredonia for their time to give us basic knowledge and hands on. The RFD enjoys a great working relationship with Rescue, especially when manpower becomes an issue at an incident. Rescue also has members fully trained in firefighting to assist the FD.
