Today your Eureka Volunteers along with Eureka EMS held an in house training session with the topic of vehicle accident with rescue. The group started off by discussing:

Apparatus placement

Scene size up checking for hazards (leaking fluids and electrical hazards)

Calling for additional resources if necessary

Establishing Command

Crews then did two scenarios in which the crews worked together to get the patient out of the vehicle while using both battery operated tools as well as hydraulic tools along with hand tools. We had a mix of inexperienced crews that were mentored by experienced crews.

During our rehab breaks we discussed what went good as well as what we can do to improve. The ultimate goal is for everyone to work safely and efficiently as well as achieving rapid extrication to maximize a more positive outcome for the patient (Golden Hour).

It was a great day of training and learning!

We would like to give a shout out to Barron Shaw who graciously donated the vehicle.

Also thank you Kayla Winters for the pictures.

This weekend 6 members from Eureka as well as members from Shrewsbury, New Freedom and even one member from Quentin VFD (Southern Lebanon Co) attended a 16-hour EVOC class hosted by Eureka. There was 8-hours of classroom on Saturday and another 8-hours of behind the wheel on Sunday. Students had to complete the road course without hitting the traffic cones. All students passed the class and will receive a certificate from VFIS.

On behalf the class we would like to thank the instructor Adam Waltemyer and his 2 assistants, Jared Hartleib and Pat Horan.

Today at 11:20AM Eureka VFD was alerted for a tractor on fire in a field in the area of Trout School Rd/Rambo Rd in East Hopewell Twp. A duty officer from Station 45 was in the area with a large column of smoke and requested to add an additional tanker (T45). R54, T54, E54 & BR54-2 (East Hopewell) responded. Crews arrived to a fully involved farm tractor owned by Sky Blu Farms. Crews used two attack lines to knock down the fire. The fire was accidental due to a mechanical issue. There were no injuries or damage to any property. The tractor is a total loss.
