Volunteers Serving Springfield Township
Another great day for Flourtown at this year’s Lion’s Club 4th of July Parade in Oreland:Devised by Captain Chris Manning, this obstacle course search and rescue drill had the crew twisting and turning as they traversed the course blindfolded.
Squad 6 responded on March 30 to Germantown and Northwestern Ave for a motor vehicle accident with injuries. Members assisted EMS and secured hazards which included radioactive medical bio-hazards.
Squad 6, Engine 6, Utility 6 along with Rescue 7 (Wissahickon) and Rescue 29, (Barren Hill) responded to a vehicle accident along Route 73, just South of Butler Pike. The vehicle left the roadway, struck a tree and the vehicle came to rest back on the roadway. The one occupant was extricated from the vehicle by stabilizing with cribbing and removing the driver’s side door.
