05.18.12 Training Tip
05.17.12 Station 9
Bails Out Head first ladder escapes, personal escape rope, webbing harnesses and other techniques were all conducted. Each member was given the opportunity to perform each procedure and executed them flawlessly. Remember the Priorities of Rescue/Escape come into play before the decision to "Bailout" is made. If all avenues of rescue/escape are are not available, going out the window is our last option.
Like calling a Mayday, this type of procedure is a Low Frequency, High Consequence scenario. Training in these procedures on a regular basis will increase a firefighter's window of survivability. A great drill for any firefighter.

Benz Delivers When Tom went asking for partners in the automotive industry, Mercedes Benz answered. Mercedes Benz Product Analysis Engineer Teddy Vaughn secured and had donated a brand new GL 320 for our use. Yes, that's right, we destroyed a perfectly good $85,000 Mercedes Benz, but all for a good reason. Following a thorough product overview in the classroom, Mr. Vaughn demonstrated the deployment of the passenger compartment air bags. Our staff then went to work making several experimental cuts to defeat the reinforced construction of this modern SUV. Designs in the air bag system, new lightweight reinforced steal and Boron components proved to be challenging and led to several good discussions and refined techniques. In all, the GL 320 proved to be invaluable. Needless to say, our staff members are better prepared to provide a high level of training to our students. Another example of how our staff dedicates themselves to the craft of education. We cannot thank Mr. Vaughn and Mercedes Benz enough for this fantastic opportunity. If a comprehensive motor vehicle extrication course is what you're looking for, be sure to enroll in the Technical Rescuer-Vehicle & Machinery Rescue Level I (#12-1218-46) Course this fall.
