Williston Park FD Training [9-14-14]

On the morning of Sunday, September 14th the Williston Park Fire Department conducted a vehicle extrication and fire drill in the town pool parking lot located off of Broad Street. Firefighters began the drill by utilizing extrication tools off of [Light] Rescue 864 and removing the front doors from the auto. A member was placed inside the passenger side of the vehicle to act as a victim. Once the “victim” was extricated he was tended to by Williston Park Fire Department medical personnel and loaded onto a backboard. After members concluded the extrication scenario the vehicle was then lit to simulate a car fire scenario. Firefighters had two lines stretched and in operation off of Engine 861 for this evolution. Upon extinguishing the fire members put saws and other hand tools into use for the overhaul process. The Sunday morning drill was overseen by Williston Park Chief of Department Gary Smithing [8600] with Assistant Chiefs Gagliardi and Sais [8601 and 8602] also present.
