Taylor Springs Res-Q-Jack Training |
|
|
 The Taylor Springs Fire Department hosted a hands-on Rescue Jack
training class taught by Duane Bales from the Illinois Fire Service
Institute.
Tom Rogers, Scott Lynch and Dan Rogers of Witt Fire
Department and Larry Jackson of Nokomis Fire Department participated.
Taylor
Springs firemen were Chief Ron Gazda, Doug Fenton, Brian McCarty, Linda
Klotz, Dave Wrachford, Beau Elam, Tom Flint, Rick Laurent and Dustin
Jones.
Rescue Jacks are used to stabilize vehicles in order to
extricate occupants trapped in a traffic collision. The TS jacks were
purchased with funds raised at the September 2009 annual $10,000
dinner-dance.
Lunch for the training class was provided by Jason
Milanos. Dick Elam allowed the fire department to use his property for
training, and Tony Simmons provided the damaged vehicles.
