On August 21st, the Mount Bethel Vol. Fire Co. #1 in Warren Township held a specialized training session focusing on Paratech air lifting bags, tools used for rapid victim removal in rescue situations.

Firefighters practiced handling shifting weight loads and reinforced critical stabilization techniques to ensure safe and effective operations in real emergencies. Training like this keeps the department sharp and ready when the community needs them most.

The company also extended an invitation to new volunteers. Anyone interested in joining can email mtbethelfire@gmail.com, send a direct message, or stop by the station at 128 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, NJ any Wednesday at 7 PM to learn more.
