         TARS Auto Extrication

          January 23rd-25th, 2009

    A number of TFD personnel had the chance to take part in a Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads auto extrication class. This class provides invaluable knowledge and experience for vehicle accidents that require victim extrication. Taught by instructor Joel Woodman, participants learned proper cribbing and support techniques while using hydraulic equipment to cut through the vehicles.

    The month of August was MVA training month for the department. Our third-Saturday training centered around vehicle extrication, including  properly securing the vehicles and covering different methods of extrication. Both handtools and hydraulic spreader/cutters were used, allowing members to gain valuable extrication training hours.

















                Training Burn

               January 17th, 2009

    Tigerville Fire Department was given the opportunity to hold a training burn in January of this year. Members of the department were presented with a number of different rescue scenarios, allowing them to employ search-and-rescue tactics learned during previous training. The final scenario was a fully involved structure fire. This scenario provided  volunteers and Explorers with first-hand experience controlling a nozzle and how to perform salvage & overhaul. This training was a success, with everyone in attendance coming away with new knowledge.
