The team successfully extinguished the fires and safely rescued the mannequins thanks to their expertise and the new Heavy Rescue. This exercise consisted of a pileup of three cars with two rescue mannequins needing to be saved in a timely manner. Team Buckley's firefighters put this new Heavy Rescue truck to the test during an auto extraction exercise on Feb. “Incidents such as rope rescue and confined space, along with unique incidents that involve a myriad of different specialized stabilization and extraction tools for an auto and machinery extraction.” “The truck is now able to respond with the necessary tools needed at various types of Technical Rescue Incidents,” said Draper. They also have the ability to travel through rough terrain and are able to illuminate the scene in incidents that require specialized lighting to operate safely. The tools were firmly secured and can be easily pulled out without hurting their backs or injuring other areas of their body. Draper, a firefighter from the 460th CES, redesigned the new truck to make their assigned rescue equipment easily accessible once the firefighters arrive on scene. They received a new Heavy Rescue truck and soon will have a Heavy Hazardous Materials Response vehicle on the way.įire Lt. Firefighters from the 460th Civil Engineer Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, are getting a much needed upgrade.
