Drill held 11-08-06 with
Stations 31, 32, 29 and Squad
34. At 6:30PM, all Upper
Deerfield Township Fire
Companies and UDEMS were
dispatched to 51 Cornwell
Drive for a dwelling reported
with entrapment. A large three
bedroom house, scheduled for
demolition in the coming days
was donated for one night of
intense training. Firefighters
practiced search and rescue,
fire suppression (although
there was no actual fire), roof
ventilation, wall breaching,
rescuing a downed firefighter,
and a variety of other skills,
while members of the
township's Emergency Medical
Services got to practice their
skills in firefighter
rehabilitation. A smoke
machine was used to fill the
residence with artificial smoke,
creating very real
circumstances. The drill was
considered a huge success by
all and we hope to be able to
have another one like it very
soon. Drills like these allow
your firefighters to better
develop the skills needed to
serve you. We would like to
extend our thanks to all who
made this drill possible and to
Rosenhayn Volunteer Fire and
Rescue (Sta 29) for their
assistance.
