On Saturday Oct. 17, 2009, the Tarrytown FD held an 8 hour school bus extrication class taught by NYS Fire Instructor G. Bassler. It was an excellent class, all had a good time and learned a lot.

I took this class 16 years ago when I was with Lake Carmel, and it was not only informative, but a lot of fun to put what I learned into practice.

Does Engine 80 carry all the extrication equipment for TFD or do some of the other trucks also carry rescue equipment?

[gpdexplorer 46]

Eng 80 carries a set of Holmatro tools.

Eng 79 carries air bags.

Eng 77 carries a set of Hurst tools.

Utility 61 carries Paratech support struts.

A typical extrication call would bring a response of Eng 79, Eng 77, and UT 61.

E-80 carries a holmatro combo tool with a pony motor for very small jobs.

E-77 carries a full set of Hurst tools: large spreaders, combo tool, cutters, ram bars, chains etc.

U-61 has our new paratech vehicle struts on it and all the cribbing you could possibly need

E-79 has the air bags on it.
