Honing Important Skills – RIT Training

Some members of Flourtown Fire Company and Wyndmoor Hose Company took part in Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) training hosted by Safety and Survival Training LLC.

Firefighters learned self rescue techniques, SCBA rescue skills, grab and go techniques and other skills needed to actually make a rescue of fellow firefighters when needed on the fire grounds. All Photos by Bob Wilmot, Jr.

Heavy Truck and Bus Rescue Training

Sunday May 6th brought Flourtown and Wyndmoor Fire Companies together to train on Heavy Truck and Bus Rescue. A donated school bus and tractor made the training realistic. The companies worked on stabilization, lifting, and accessing the vehicles from multiple points, using all tools available to them. The ending scenario set up by the presenters of the class, Safety and Survival Training, pulled together all that we learned through out the day and prepared us for the worst. A portion of the money for this class was donated by the Springfield Township High School Student Council.
