Luckily this was all just a drill.
The Hunterdon County Technical Rescue Task Force (HCTRTF) held its quarterly exercise today on the 25-acre Windy Acres Park in Clinton Township this morning, with a scenario that tested multiple disciplines. The drill, led this quarter by member agency the Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad, was made possible by the Clinton Township Committee and Department of Public Works. At just after 8am, the HCTRTF members gathered and were dispatched to a report of a car vs structure, with possible entrapment and collapse. Units from the member agencies of the Task Force began to arrive and command was established by Clinton Rescue's Deputy Chief of Rescue, who reported a car vs house, car into the basement with 3 entrapped, and a boat they were towing had become dislodged and entrapped a worked in a trench that was open for septic work. Luckily this was all just a drill. Have you ever tried to build a lego kit, without directions? How about without knowing what you are actually building? That was tonight’s drill. It’s all about communication. Different communication styles. Different communication methods. 5 teams of members were handed a box of parts. Their mission? Receive directions from their leaders, who were in another room with the directions and photos of what was supposed to be built. Sounds easy? Ask the 20+ members who participated tonight. Great job all and some awesome take aways about communication between and within your crews. #emstraining #cfarspride #rescuetraining #communicationskills#communicationstyles |
