First Due Tackle Pass It On – Firefighter, Rescue & Extrication Training

My frustration was building after trying various sized screwdrivers and not having a screw out tool handy.

As I enter my 20th year on this job of all jobs (THE best one in the world that is...), I am once again faced with working around the holidays. I have worked many, many Christmas days, Christmas Eves, New Years, etc.... You get the point. I always reflect on what is must have been like for our past Brothers working around this time of year.

You are called for a crash into house with reports of someone yelling HO HO H-O-SHIT just before impact.

Have fun reading the Santa Rescue Guide, it was fun writing with a twist of humor, sarcasm, and holiday spirit. Although only a hint of training in each, we have included some training links at the bottom of each post.

The Manalapan Township Fire Co. #1 had its hands full last Friday when a dump truck lost control and rolled onto a school bus. Luckily, no children were on the bus and no injuries were reported.

The driver of a passenger car died after rear-ending a stopped school bus near Tomball, Texas on Wednesday (12-12-12). This under-ride is a potentially challenging one because of the big vehicle on top.

The other day we rode to a hybrid auto class in a 1966 Jeep. Basically, it's a death trap that includes no roll-over protection, gas tank under the driver's seat, and lap belts that will keep only your hips from being cut off, rubbed off, or pinned under something during a crash.
