The fire service can be challenging, as well as rewarding. I believe that no matter how long you are a member (and I have been a member since 1968), you can never say, "I have seen it all!" While many alarms are routine, eventually you use your training and skills to cope with a situation that you have not encountered before.

Halesite Hones Extrication Skills at Gershow Recycling

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

Gershow Recycling graciously opened its doors once again to Halesite, allowing firefighters to hone their extrication skills at their yard in Huntington Station. A total of seven firefighters, under the command of 1st Assistant Chief Dan McConnell, spent several hours during the evening of June 28th cutting up three separate vehicles donated by Gershow Recycling. The members used "Jaws of Life" extrication equipment in numerous simulated entrapment scenarios. Below is a link to the news article from Gershow that shows a picture of Halesite's members.
