I dropped in on Station 16 in Columbus this afternoon. Below are some pictures of Rescue 16. It is the busiest or one of the busiest rescues in the country, year in - year out.

The Westminster (SC) Fire Department will be hosting the third annual Rippin' Rescue class on March 29, 2014. This will be a one day class with all hands-on training.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the successful rescue of Columbus Division of Fire Lt. Polaski. Spend some time with your crew talking RIT, Maydays, and S&R.

This past weekend I was able to teach for BGSU State Fire School in Ottoville, OH with a couple other great rescue minds. The May Fire School schedule was just released. Hope to see you in the Heavy Rescue Class.

Columbus FF JD Vasbinder talks the crew through the steps of gaining access to a pinned driver in the video below. The teaching points are in the video, so be sure to watch with your crew to learn new or review already known techniques.

This past weekend several of us had the chance to travel to South Carolina for the 3rd Annual Rippin Rescue class.
