Beaver Brook Regional Fire Alliance Water Ops Drill
Members of the Bellmawr, Runnemede, Haddon Heights, and Barrington Fire Departments attended the Beaver Brook Regional Fire Alliance's monthly drill. This month the Alliance covered Water & Pool Emergencies at the Holiday Inn in Runnemede. Firefighters participated in evolutions involving removing an unconscious patient from a pool, in-water c-spine immobilization, and firefighter in-water survival techniques. In turnout gear, Firefighters jumped into the water to practice techniques to keep themselves afloat should they ever fall into a pool or water filled basement during a fire attack.
