ON 4/12/08 AT 0800 HRS THE PITTSVILLE VOL FIRE HOSTED ITS ANNUAL EASTSIDE  RESCUE DRILL/SEMINAR. COMPANIES IN ATTENDANCE WERE PARSONSBURG(STA 6),WILLARDS(STA 8), POWEVILLE(STA 11), AND SUSSEX COUNTY DE GUMBORO(STA 79) ALONG WITH OUR AREA HURST TOOL REPRESENTIVE KIETH TWILLEY AND HIS ASSISTANT CK TWILLEY. LT. GARY BRATTEN CONDUCTED A CLASS ROOM EXERCISE PRIOR TO THE PRACTICAL EVOLUTIONS. DURINGTHIS EXERCISE LITERATURE ON HYBRID VEHICLES WAS HANDED OUT AND NUMEROUS KEY POINTS ON BATTERY LOCATIONS AND WHERE THE HIGH AND LOW VOLTAGE POWERWIRES ARE RUN DURING FACTORY INSTALLATION.  UPON FINISHING THE CLASS ROOM PORTION, ALL IN ATTENDANCE WENT OUTSIDE TO AN AREA SET UP BEHIND THE FIRE DEPT WHICH HAD (8) VEHICLES AND (1) SCHOOL BUS SET UP WITH DIFFERENT SCENARIOS TO INCLUDE A HEAD ON COLLISON, A VEHICLE ON ITS TOP,A VEHICLE ON ITS SIDE, A TWO VEHICLE MVC WITH ONE OF THE VEHICLES UP ON THE HOOD OF THE OTHER AND A SCHOOL BUS ON ITS SIDE. UNFORTUANTELY DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS WE DID NOT GET TO DO THE SCHOOL BUS SCENARIO BUT THIS WILL BE RESCHEDULE FOR ANOTHER TIME AS A MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT. ALL IN ATTENDANCE WORKED WELL TOGETHER IN A PROFFESIONAL MANNER.  TO END THE DAY WE TOOK  MEMBERS FROM EACH DEPT TO MAKE AN (8) PERSON CREW, THE CREW WAS GIVEN A SCENARIO OF A HEAD ON COLLISON, WITH (2) PEOPLE TRAPPED, (1) WITH THE DASH ON THE LEGS OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND THE OTHER HAD BENN THROWN TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CREW IMMEDIATELY WENT T O WORK REMOVING THE (2) FRONT DOORS AND THE ROOF AND DID A SUCCESSFULL DASH ROLL. THE PATIENTS WERE THEN PACKAGED AND REMOVED FROM THE  VEHICLE AND PLACED ON THE STRECTHER AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACTUAL  INCIDENT. AGAIN ALL WORKED WELL TOGETHER TO INCLUDE WORKING WITH THE EMS THAT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE THE RESCUE WAS BEING PERFORMED. LUNCH WAS PROVIDED BY THE LADIES AUXILLARY. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL DEPTS AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
