The Elmwood Township Gagetown Fire Department has received a valuable boost in rescue capabilities with the addition of a GSI Res-Q-tube, thanks to a generous donation. This device, essential for extracting individuals from confined spaces like grain bins, improves the efficiency and safety of rescue operations.
Recently, the department conducted a training session to familiarize members with the Res-Q-tube. This hands-on practice showcased the equipment's benefits and allowed members to enhance their skills. Currently, four members are trained in confined space, rope, and grain bin rescue, with many more eager to join their ranks.
Special thanks to Captain Rob Coryell for capturing the training session in photos. This new equipment is a significant step forward in the department's mission to keep the community safe.
