This evening, Sgt Bender headed an air bag refresher for the members. Crews discussed and reviewed all aspects of lifting bag operations. This included selection and placement of bags, additional stabilization needs and most importantly safety.
The training allowed crews to refresh on an array of paratech equipment including the air source cart, controller set-ups and of course the high pressure lifting bags. Members put their skills to work in a scenario to finish of the air bag segment of training.
Following the lifting bag operations, crews practiced vehicle extrication techniques on two vehicles. The Eden Fire Company would like to thank Spot Check Auto of Lancaster for supplying the vehicles for tonights training.
