FISHKILL — Firefighters got together to train on rescue equipment used to remove victims from industrial accidents. This drill led by 1st Asst Chief Charlie Kuehner, 2nd Asst Chief Wes Hall, and Lt Ken Shirmer, trained firefighters in the use of our new stokes basket, rescue rope and proper communications. Firefighters moved the victim to the stokes basket and used the ladder to hoist the victim from the accident site to a safe area where they could receive medical assistance.
