Last weekend was perfect for a little rescue training. We practiced all steps of vehicle extrication including scene safety and management, stabilization, patient care, and different extrication techniques using the various tools found on our ambulances and rescue truck.

Busy weekend for WEFAS. On October 24th, we were invited to take part at a touch-a-truck at Fairfield Public Library's Fall Festival. Our crew had a blast showing the kids our vehicles and equipment.

The West Essex First Aid Squad had a great time on Saturday at West Caldwell's annual Trunk or Treat. We hope you enjoyed our spooky ambulance as much as we loved decorating!

Thanks to Dan Romano for stopping by last week to present our squad with a check from Salute to Service Night. Instead of charging admission to the September 16th game, attendees were asked to make a donation to WEFAS. Thank you to the JCHS administration and the community for your generous support!
