On March 14, two members of the
Fivepointville Ambulance attended a farm rescue class that was
held at the Bowmansville Fire Company. EMS Chief High and EMT A. Martin
spent the morning touring a couple farms in the area to see what
types of incidents can happen on a farm and get first hand
experience of how dangerous farm work really is. After a
wonderful lunch that was provided by the fire company, the
members headed over to another local farm where different
scenarios were set up. One involved a tractor overturned with a
subject trapped underneath. Two others involved two different
kinds of tractors that ran over a subject. The fourth scenario delt with how to remove an injured or sick person off a tractor
in an emergency. Our members had the chance to work side by side
with members of Bowmansville, New Holland,
Denver, and
Terre Hill Fire companies. This training is part of our ongoing
dedication to improve our overall skills and knowledge to help
our community when and where we are needed. We would like to
thank the officers of the Bowmansville Fire Company for
including us in this valuable training.
