Ice Water Rescue Drill Huge Success PDF Print E-mail

On a frigid morning on the tenth of January, the Brookhaven Fire Department held an intense ice rescue drill at Squassux Landing in the Hamlet.  Lucky for all, the canals were frozen over and gave us an opportune time to train in difficult conditions.  Multiple evolutions were done to simulate victim removal on surface ice and also submersion senarios.  Using diverse techniques and tools, all victims were rescued successfully.  Job well done by all in frigid conditions!

On December 7, 2009, BHFD was toned out for a Heavy Rescue on eastbound Sunrise Highway west of Exit 58.  An overturn off the highway within feet of Carmen's River gave our firefighters a tough job but prevailed.  The door was popped and she was successfully extricated out of the vehicle.
