School Bus Extrication Training, Scholarships, and Here We Come Indy

No comments

This past Friday and Saturday we helped with the Northern Ohio Fools Heavy Rescue 101 training event.  For the 7th year in a row this event has grown bigger and better.  This year firefighters from 8 states were represented.  In this post I’m going to share a few pictures and a brief training description specific to school bus extrication.  For more on school bus extrication CLICK HERE.

If the driver is pinned and main door access is not possible; one option is to go through the sidewall. Cut down the wall after removing the window. Behind this wall you will find lots of controls and wires. Remove it all and make room for your ram. Your ram will push the A post, steering column, and dash off the patient. Make sure to push against something solid like the B post.

Bare bones basics of heavy lifting. Driving wedges to free a pinned victim after a roll-over. Inches was all it took.

Some Possible Entrapments Right Off The Farm

1 comment

It really is amazing how unpredictable the fire service is because yesterday a bunch of us trained at a huge grain elevator complex with no wind and 90 degree temperatures, then later in the evening we were on Lake Erie in the fire boat searching for a missing person.  The importance of constantly adding to your first due tackle box through training will keep you prepared for the next call.  The rest of this post includes some of the training scenarios we had set up at the farm rescue training hosted by the Northern Ohio Fools and Ehove Career Center.  Also check out more on farm rescue from a previous post here.
