Two members of the CVFD, Jack Baber and Joe Lowry, completed the Virginia Department of Fire Programs course in Vehicle Rescue this weekend, certified at the Operations Level. The course was put on by the Caroline County Emergency Units Organization and hosted by the Upper Caroline VFD. The course provided students information on new hazards associated with today’s vehicles. Time was spent on how the laws of physics affect the vehicle and it’s passengers and the outcome this has on tactical considerations. Emphasis was placed on the development of safe and proficient techniques for vehicle stabilization, extrication and lifting, and in the use of air bags and hydraulic systems.
