This Saturday, Waldorf Company 3 hosted an intensive extrication drill in collaboration with Company 12. The training session focused on honing vital rescue skills and ensuring that all members are proficient in the use of advanced equipment and techniques.

During the drill, participants trained extensively on Paratech hydrafusions and lifting struts, essential tools for stabilizing and lifting heavy objects in rescue scenarios. The drill also covered various extrication techniques, providing members with hands-on experience in a range of simulated emergencies.

Several members took the opportunity to complete practical evaluations, a critical component of their squad check-off process. This practical training ensured that they met the rigorous standards required for effective and safe extrication operations.

The joint drill not only enhanced the skills of individual firefighters but also strengthened the collaborative efforts between Company 3 and Company 12. Such joint training sessions are crucial for building teamwork and ensuring a coordinated response during actual emergencies.

The dedication and commitment demonstrated by all participants underscore the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department’s ongoing commitment to excellence in service and preparedness. The skills and knowledge gained during this drill will undoubtedly enhance the department’s capability to respond effectively to future incidents, ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.
