Tuesday evening we conducted our weekly drill with this week's topic being motor vehicle emergencies. Our first evolution was extinguishing a motor vehicle fire. Members practiced skills such as stretching a hoseline and the proper techniques needed at a car fire call. With the help of our neighbors at Croton On Hudson Emergency Medical Services, our second evolution of the night was a simulation of a vehicle extrication. Croton On Hudson EMS members simulated being trapped in the vehicle, while firefighters practiced removing them from the vehicle. At the same time, EMT's practiced patient care within the vehicle. We would like to thank Croton On Hudson EMS for attending this drill and for teaching us valuable lessons about patient care.
