During the week of April 27, the Training Officer for the Torrington Fire Department, Assistant Chief Jay Dixon presented a vehicle extrication/rescue scenario to the four platoons. Chief Dixon set up two vehicles in a concrete drainage structure behind Fire Headquarters on Water Street. With one vehicle on top of a second vehicle, the situation presented interesting challenges to the various crews who had to overcome limited work space, below grade rescue, and potentially unstable vehicles. Each platoon had to package and remove a simulated victim with in the wreckage. Crews operated with the Holmatro Rescue Tools, as well as various struts to stablize the vehicles. Mayor Molly Spino and Fire Chief David Tripp Jr stopped by to observe the training.
