Firefighters Train on Extrication

Robbinsville Township Fire Department

Robbinsville (Mercer County)- On May 3, 2008 firefighters from the Washington Volunteer Firemen Inc. and Career Staff firefighters that were on duty, attended an ESI Extrication Certification Course held at the fire house. The class was an all day class broken down into 2 parts; a two (2) hour lecture followed by practical evolutions. Firefighters learned new ways of extricating a victim from a car and also refreshed their memory on other ways and techniques.

Great thanks is given to ESI Inc. for taking their time to come out to the department and give us their knowledge and tips.
