On Saturday, November 19, 2011 the Chester County Department of Emergency Services held its EMT Class "Rescue Day" at the Westwood Fire Company.
The training started with students reviewing the Rescue equipment in the morning and practicing rapid extrication, and patient packaging.
The simulated rescue scenarios began after lunch. The members of Wagontown and Sadsburyville Fire Companies were invited to assist the members of the Westwood Fire Company with doing the rescue portion of the class.

Donated vehicles were "damaged" and rescuers and EMT students simulated victim removal from auto accident scenes. The goal was to orient the students with life-like scenarios that they will encounter as EMTs. The class was very informative to all students involved. The Wagontown Fire Company would like to thank Chief McWilliams of the Westwood Fire Company for involving us in the class. Also thanks to the Sadsburyville Fire company for their assistance. Wagontown would like to wish all students the best of luck with the rest of their class and their EMS careers!

Special thanks to the Westwood Fire Company for the pictures.
