Drill Night: High Water Rescue Truck

Events and Happenings /

Tonight for our weekly drill, the members of Rescue Co.1 drilled with the Mahwah Police Dept. to review our water rescue SOG’s and train on the PD’s high water vehicle. During floods in the Township, Co.1’s swift water team works with the Police Dept using both our Fan boat, swift water equipment, and their High Water Truck. Having a good working relationship ensures teamwork and a high level of service for our residents. We would like to thank the PD for coming across the parking lot for this training opportunity.

Throwback Thursday: HAZMAT Extrication

Events and Happenings /

Not your average extrication. On the morning of July 17 2007 Company 1 responded to Rt.17 North near the 17/287 split for a motor vehicle accident with entrapment. Rescue 1 arrived to find a tractor trailer with the driver heavily pinned. Due to the cargo containing hazardous materials, the members performed the extrication on air preventing any inhalation hazards.

Live Burn At The Academy

We would like to thank our dedicated members, our partners from our Mutual Aid, and the academy instructors who gave up their Saturday morning to take part in the invaluable training. We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with these departments and days like today help strengthen those bonds.

Later in the morning after the heavy rain had started Co.1 was requested into Rockland County for a water rescue, with a report of multiple people trapped. Arriving Rockland units confirmed no one was trapped and we were stood down shortly after. Our volunteers continued to stay busy throughout the day with multiple fire alarms and ended that evening with a motor vehicle accident on Route 202. After securing the vehicle, the members of Rescue 1 helped EMS attend to the patient, before they were transported to an area hospital. After operations completed, our friends at The Ice Factory treated us to some ices, a much needed relief after such a long day and busy start to our weekend. We would like
