Busy day on Friday. 0900, gave a deserving SHES student a ride to school as his award for collecting the most food for Project PIN. Then at 1030 we responded with ET and HT196 to a kitchen fire in Danielson.

Tonight's training focused on remote water supplies for brush fires. Here our nimble portable pump draws water from the Quinebaug River up an incline to a simulated fire location.

This evening Atwood Hose Fire was dispatched for a structure fire in Moosup. The crew from ET196 assisted with overhaul, while the crew from HT196 stood by in case an additional water supply was needed. Units were released at 1945 hrs.

Please Adopt a Hydrant now that the storm is over. If you have a hydrant near your home or business, please help us and clear the snow from around it. It will take a couple of days for our volunteers to get to all the hydrants in our district. Seconds Count!

Two car MVA with entrapment this morning at 0739hrs. One patient transported with minor injuries. The other refused treatment at the scene. The airbags and supplemental restraints in both vehicles saved the operators from further injuries.

Our crew had a great time at the Shepard Hill Elementary School Trunk or Treat event this evening. The costumes were great and tons of candy was given out. Just don't tell your dentist. 😉
