Animal rescue situations, vehicles through the ice, and victim removal across unfavorable terrain are just a few of the scenarios students will be challenged with.

Training: SWFD Rescue Squad with Enfield's Special Ops on 10/9/2022

October 9 at 5:35 PM
Today, the SWFD Rescue Squad conducted joint training with members of the Enfield Fire Departments’ Special Operations team. The drill focused on trench rescue at a operations level for Enfield, and an awareness level for South Windsor.
Developing partnerships with nearby mutual aid services who specialize in specific disciplines and own specific equipment benefits both departments and better prepares them should a dual response be needed for an emergency.
Special thanks to Jay’s Landscaping and Environmental Services, Inc. for assisting with an operator and equipment for digging the trench.
