Rehoboth Fire & EMS
Conduct Joint Training
(February 7, 2012) On Sunday, February 5, nearly 40 firefighters, EMT's and paramedics gathered at Rehoboth Fire Station # 2 for a cold water rescue drill. Several Junior firefighters were also on hand to observe and support. Cold water rescue and EMS lectures were given by Lt. Botelho and FF/P Syrett before the entire group headed out in the twenty degree weather for practical evolutions.
The drill simulated a real time response to a report of two people in the water off Jameson Drive. As units arrived, various tasks were assigned by the incident commander. Several different aspects of operational skills were trained on including operating under the incident command system, the rescue itself, care and transport of the victims, safety, accountability and rehabilitation of the rescuers.
All participants returned to the station for a critique of the training. Everyone agreed that it was an extremely good day of training. This was the first in a series of joint drills that will be held throughout the rest of the year to ensure the best use of resources for the mitigation of different types of incidents.
State laws and regulations require permits and inspections for numerous commercial and residential uses. If you are not sure whether you need a permit or inspection call the office for assistance. Some inspections can be arranged by phone but permits must be obtained in person and may require supporting paperwork and an application. CLICK HERE.
