Last night Millstone FF’s used Englishtown FD’s (12-1) door training prop to sharpen our skills in forcible entry techniques. Many times we need to gain entry to commercial buildings on fire after hours or weekends. So specialized training props like this are especially helpful. Thanks to Englistown Chief Lou Sarti and his department for hosting us!

Tuesday evening members from the Millstone Township Fire Company sharpened their skills on motor vehicle extrication. The scenario has 2 vehicles with side impact and overturn. Members need to secure the scene, stabilize vehicles, assess potential patient injury, extricate patient(s) and turn over to EMS all in a matter of minutes. Constant practice on extrication and all facets of Fire/EMS is critical to successful outcomes.
