Another fantastic live fire training session this Saturday morning down at Salem county! Members conducted their second of 6 live fire training sessions this year! Members focused on engine co. Skills this time, managing the hose line and being an effective interior crew. Great Job by all!
Thank you once again to Harrisonville Fire Company for braving the warm weather with us , and the staff at Salem County NJ Fire Academy staff page for an awesome training session!
Thank you everyone for your dedication and service to your community!
The low flying helicopter seen hovering around the area is Atlantic City Electric, inspecting power lines.
The process is outlined in this past article, and there’s no need for concern.

The Officers and Members of The Woolwich Fire Company announce with deep regret the sudden passing of Lieutenant Mark Ressa. Mark has served with the Fire Company since 2018. While certainly not the longest serving member, Mark's presence could fill the firehouse every time he was here. He was a Valued Officer, Mentor and Friend. Words are insurmountable to describe this tremendous loss, our hearts break for Mark and his family. We are proud to honor and cherish his life and legacy and proud to have Mark as member of our firehouse family.
Please keep Mark's Wife Gina and his children in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.
Happy Father's Day Mark, Rest Easy, We Have It From Here.

Yesterday morning 0938 hours, Woolwich Firefighters were dispatched to the 200 block of New Sweden Dr. for an animal rescue. Upon arrival, it was determined that a group of ducklings fell into a storm drain with their mother unable to get to them. With the assistance of Public Works, Firefighters were able to quickly remove all the ducks from the drain without incident. Our callers, who witnessed the ducklings enter the storm drain paused an outdoor fitness class, and patiently watched as crews operated on scene. After the ducks were re-reunited with their mother, firefighters were asked to take a moment to snap a group photo with the women from Core and Soul Fitness. Pictured from left to right are Firefighter/Engineer McCormick, Firefighters Beckett and Zielinski. Photo Credit to Bernadette Noonan and patrons of Core and Soul Fitness.

HEAVY VEHICLE RESCUE PART 3
Thank you again to Logan Township Fire Department and Harrisonville Fire Company for coming out!
Special thanks to Swedesboro Council Member Shaun Booker for stopping by and participating in the training!
Over 40 Members last night came together and continued their training on part 3 of 4 of HVR. Taking it up a notch members were tasked with
1 - Stabilizing a tractor trailer that had come to rest on top of a passenger car, removing the side and roof of the car and the passenger door on the tractor trailer
2- Completing a lift on a delivery vehicle that turned over on a passenger car with some Old School Cribbing and High Pressure Air Bags.
3- Completing a roof removal and “California” style dash lift on the suv in the tree.
Over on the Tractor Trailer, the crew was tasked with capturing the vehicle in place as it came to rest to prevent it from rolling over (tall strut). Once the truck was stabilized, the crew removed the roof and whole passenger side on the car. Finishing off the evolution, the crew then made access to the tractor trailer by removing the passenger door.
Although the delivery vehicle was empty, each of the two box crib stacks supporting the air bags can hold in excess of 24,000 lbs! Backed up by the paratech struts, the crew working this station successfully captured the weight of the vehicle and lifted it off the blue passenger car.
You will notice there are several different types of equipment being used at each evolution. Often times at major incidents such as these the knowledge of the firefighters and capabilities of the fire apparatus are put to the test, using most IF NOT ALL of the equipment carried on the apparatus. The equipment used last night came off of Rescue 2518 and Engine 1811.

Outstanding teamwork last night by all of you. Let’s keep up the great work. Training is what makes the difference in operating during an incident. A well oiled group will operate a whole lot easier and smoother then a rusty one!!
It takes very special men and women to be able to see and do what you do and for the majority it is strictly volunteer work. Thank and God Bless All of you for what you do.
WELL DONE QUARTER HOUSE !!! Excellent work, well thought out troublesome scenarios, and great turnout from what it appears !!!!!
This looks like some awesome training, Bro!
BEAUTIFUL SUMMER (Almost) AFTERNOON
Many thanks to the crew at Kona Ice of Swedesboro truck #4171 for stopping by and donating some tasty shaved ice to our daytime staff. Much appreciated!

Heavy Vehicle Rescue Training - Part 2 Thanks to Logan Township Fire Department and Harrisonville Fire Co. for coming out and braving the heat with us!
This past Tuesday members were given 3 scenario based evolutions
1. Passenger car that was run off the road by a Tractor Trailer and landed on its side
2. Delivery Vehicle that was struck by a passenger car and rolled on top of it.
3. A full size suv crashed into a tree (side impact).
Members building on last week's training stabilized and mitigated the heavy vehicles and made an extrication on a simulated victim in the passenger cars. Although this week the scenarios did not include victims in the heavy vehicles, it is critically important that stabilization is achieved capturing the weight of the heavy vehicle so it is safe to work around. All Motor Vehicle Crash Scenes are not the same each bringing their own unique challenges. First Responders all around the nation including your own encounter these scenarios everyday.
Special thanks to MESFire , HURST Jaws of Life, and Genesis Rescue Systems/MAFA-Dival Safety NJ PA NY Sales & Service for allowing us to use your battery powered rescue tools. We hope to work with you in the future!
Interested in joining the action? Go to www.woolwichfirefighter.org and apply today!
Let’s keep up the great work ladies and gentlemen. Your training and positive momentum is what makes you all a great team to have during an incident.
Thank you for giving up your time and bodies in the heat to make your skills better. You are appreciated.
Members from your fire company and our partners at Harrisonville Fire Company kicked off a 4 part training series tonight covering Heavy Vehicle Rescue Skills. Heavy Vehicle Rescue (HVR) is an integral component of our overall skill set, not only for our own local response area but for the mutual aid we provide to our partners in the area.
Members tonight covered Heavy Vehicle Anatomy, Stabilization of the Heavy Vehicle and scene size up. Scenarios included a Delivery Service Vehicle overturned on a concrete barrier, a two vehicle crash on top of each other and basic stabilization of a Tractor Trailer Cab.
Special thanks to our new friends at Coopersburg Kenworth & Liberty Kenworth for bringing some sweet Brand New Kenworth Vehicles to review, Deerfield Truck for providing our Heavy Vehicles and to Riehl's Towing for getting them here!
