School Bus Extrication Training

On Sunday, November 23rd, Members of the Second District VFD&RS, Ridge Volunteer Fire Department and NDWFD Webster Field Station 14 traveled to Kesslers Body & Equipment for a multi-department training involving various school bus incident scenarios. Personnel were provided with a presentation from Chief 4A, Bradley Cooper, which included stressing contacting the appropriate School Board for any school bus incidents as well as how to assess the safety of the scene.

We would like to thank the Ridge Volunteer Fire Department for inviting us to participate in the multi-department training. We would also like to thank Kessler Body & Equipment for providing school buses and space to conduct such a greatest training opportunity. Also thank you to Fire & Safety Equipment Company for bringing down extrication and stabilization tools for departments to demo while also showing us various techniques to complete the tasks needed.
