Extrication Drill in New Baltimore

This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

The New Baltimore FD held an extrication drill on Monday, March 8th. The drill simulated a rollover crash with a vehicle on its side. Firefighters first worked to stabilize the vehicle and then went over ways to safely remove a patient from the car. Hydraulic tools were used to cut the roof from the car and methods were discussed on handling a patient to load them on a backboard.
