WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — November 25 — Using its new Paratech Rescue Struts and HydraFusion Struts, the Washington Township Fire Department in Warren County finished a concentrated training session. During rescue operations, these technologies enable firefighters to stabilize or lift massive objects and heavy vehicles, increasing efficiency and safety. As they worked through a number of controlled scenarios, they gained experience with proper setup, load calculations, and teamwork. Crews gained a greater understanding of how the equipment can support operations during auto accidents and industrial events thanks to the drill.

The agency expressed gratitude to the Washington Collision Centre for donating automobiles so that firemen could practice under actual conditions. According to officials, maintaining preparedness and guaranteeing that rescuers can handle difficult rescue situations require ongoing training with modern instruments.
