Big thank you Fire Safety Officer Lauzon for putting on an informative Fire Apparatus Driving Drill both this past Saturday and Sunday. Numerous Firefighters attended the two-day driving exercise. Firefighters started with a classroom presentation, which included a very informative and to-the-point PowerPoint training lecture addressing DOT standards, POV vehicle responses, and firefighter safety. A six-station practical driving course was set up to simulate various fire apparatus driving scenarios. Firefighters practiced serpentine driving, multipoint turns, apparatus backing, and diminishing lane clearance. This year, a new station was set up, familiarizing all our Firefighters with our new UTV. One of the stations was an electric vehicle station. Firefighters got a chance to see firsthand where the batteries and inverters were placed in the vehicle, what can be touched or cut if needed during an extrication and learn the precautions that need to be taken when working around these vehicles. Great drill with a lot learned (Photo’s by Firefighter, Steve Falconer)
CFD Fire Companies responded to a motorcycle accident in the powerline area off of South Meadow Road. Due to the remote area, our Forestry UTVs 23 and 24 responded to assist Carver EMS and PD with transporting the patient to an awaiting ambulance. A Med Flight Landing Zone (LZ #6) was established by C3, Engines 1 and 2, and Breaker 29 at our Fire Headquarters, with the patient transported by helicopter to a Boston Hospital.
