New Station Construction Progress
Most of the exterior brick facade is complete. The roof panels have been installed over the garage area, and work continues to install panels on the other roof surfaces. Much of the drywall has been hung in the administrative and live in portion of the building. The stair system is being installed in the training/hose tower. The garage floor is being prepared to pour concrete soon. Check out the photo album for a pictorial timeline of the project.
Rescue Training
As part of weekly training on July 6, 2010, we worked through a physical rescue detail. We simulated an accident involving a tree that had fallen on a person. The rescue scenario was set in the woods behind the house of one of our firefighters. We had to coordinate getting equipment to the scene to remove the tree from the "patient", and extricate him from the woods. We also set up a rope hauling system to aid the rescue crew in carrying the patient up a hill. For more pictures of this training, be sure to check out our photo album under 'Training- 2010 Physical Rescue Detail Training Scenario'.
