Firefighters continued their training series Monday with a focus on vehicle rescue. Vehicle accidents are a common call that summons firefighters to duty. Sometimes people can become trapped in their vehicle in an accident and rescue tools are needed to rescue them.

Rescue 44 is a 2006 Pierce Dash Rescue Pumper that carries 13 hydraulic rescue tools and 9 of those tools are pre-connected to onboard hose reels and power units for ease of operation. When the pre-connected tools do not reach the vehicle, our Rescue Pumper carries 2 simo power units with hoses to be used in virtually any location.

Firefighters went through many scenarios tonight to become familiar with the different equipment we carry and operation of our hydraulic tools.

Firefighters conducted this training with the Sadsburyville Fire Company who provides mutual aid to us in many areas of our district.
