Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
We’d like to thank our crews on duty today for spending time away from the festivities and family!
Wrapping up a busy last few days…
Rescue Services were requested to assist with a horse stuck in a pond on Thursday. (photos from 29 fire)
Saturday 7 members participated in the quarterly Hunterdon County Urban Search and Rescue exercise at the Hunterdon County Training Center. Duty crews handled a busy Saturday with numerous calls for service.
Sunday our Junior/Observer program gathered for a few hours to improve their familiarity with less frequently used equipment. Additionally, they worked a more realistic cardiac arrest scenario with EMT 3rds leading those who have not completed EMT class. Our 170 pound mannequin was placed in a difficult/crowded position and the crews had to first move the patient to an area conducive to initiate effective CPR. Afterwards a review of what went well and what could be improved upon was conducted with the onboarding staff.
Yesterday Heavy Rescue 22-5, Utility 22-5 and MSU responded into Somerset County for a horse rescue along with South Branch Emergency Services, Inc. for a horse stuck in a pond. A bipod was set up off Heavy Rescue 22-5 in order to lift the horse out of the pond. 9 members responded while our two duty crews covered our primary area.
