FIREFIGHTERS CERTIFY ON TRENCH RESCUE OPERATIONS

June 2008

Firefighters From Kimberton (61 & 72) along with Ridge Fire(62) & Fame Fire (53) of West Chester worked to develop their Trench Rescue Skills for the past few weeks.   An Instructor from the Bucks County Fire Academy was brought in to train and certify crews in Trench Rescues.   For some it was new and for others they did it for a refresher.  Rescue crews used equipment from the Kimberton FD’s Technical Rescue Trailer which is housed at the Spring Ford substation.   Together the crews hope to develop the one and only County FD’s Trench rescue group.    Shown in the photos are crews from all groups working together as a team in a trench, as they safety shore up the trench and develop a rescue plan.
