12-December-2017 – Explorer Training

The County’s Firefighter Explorers trained on several rescue tools at their monthly meeting Tuesday night 12-December. The group practiced with the Holmatro Hydraulic tools and Holmatro High Pressure Air Bags. After familiarization with the equipment, each Explorer used the Hydraulic Spreaders in a large game of Jenga, using cribbing blocks to perfect their operating skills. Following Jenga, two ladders were set up with cups of water on each end so the Explorers could learn the balancing and lifting techniques of inflating the high pressure air bags.
