Pizza on wheels...

The fine folks from the Gold Wing Riders club stopped by to show their thanks and donated a number of pizzas, which we then distributed to both stations, Dispatch, and our co-workers at Wooster Community Hospital ED.

We look forward to participating in their annual Teddy Bear Run on July 31 at 1300, when Engine 134 will lead a procession of motorcycles from the fairgrounds to WCH to donate Teddy Bears for pediatric patients.

Our community is blessed to have folks such as this, leading the way by example

Extrication Training

The Wooster Division of Fire completed a training series on auto extrication last week, conducted by our officer corps, located to the rear of the City of Wooster Maintenance facility.

North End Garage, our city based partner in auto extrication/accident mitigation, provided the vehicles at no cost to the Department, facilitating this evolution.

Firefighters worked on multiple scenarios, including patient's pinned within and under vehicles. The scenarios challenged the participants to stabilize the vehicles, gain access for immediate patient care, and to remove the patient from the emergent situation.

Using a diverse array of tooling, inclusive of wood cribbing, hand tools, and hydraulic powered spreaders and cutters, the firefighters completed each scenario gaining valuable insight into modern day extrication techniques.
We are fortunate to have the support of our local community as we strive to forward the education and skills of the Wooster Division of Fire.
