Today, members of Lower Merion's Rescue Service got together to practice searches and structural collapse scenarios. The company "Personal Protection Equipment Specialist" came with their custom trailer to Station 21. First, members utilized the ground floor of the trailer to practice searching, passing through wall joists, and manuvering through low hanging wires. Then crews performed two structural collapse scenarios. Crews had to make entry, stabilize the collapsed area using cribbing and bottle jacks, and rescue the victims via the SKED. Thanks to the members of RES22CUE for participating in this training excercise.

For tonight's drill, members went over technical rescue operations. The members first reviewed ropes and knots and patient packaging. Then we proceeded outside to the parking lot and simulated an above grade rescue with limited access to the patient. On a side note, the member's responded to two dryer fires that were quickly controlled. Otherwise, it has been a slow year for the Village of Penn Wynne.
