A couple of weeks ago a group of Perrysburg Firefighters took part in a safety event at the Andersons in Maumee. The event was to educate the public about fire safety and to display the various rescue tools by various Fire Departments. A number of local fire departments took part in a friendly competition to showcase skills used to extricate patients from cars. The following videos were posted by Joe Brainard. It shows each round including the final round in which we came in second place behind Swanton Fire. It shows us crossing the finish line first but due to an equipment problem encountered by Swanton, there time was slightly faster than ours. We were nudged out by good competition and congrats goes out to Swanton. And congrats to all that came out. Your local departments received good training and great camaraderie.

On Wednesday the Perrysburg Firefighters and Twp Firefighters took part in the Perrysburg Schools Prom Promise '09. The mock crash is to symbolize what can and has happened when you drink and drive. The drill took place at the Perrysburg football field and gave all of the Junior and Senior class a sober reminder not to drink and drive anytime, but in particular during prom season. The Perrysburg Firefighters wish all of the Perrysburg students a safe and memorable prom season. Watch below as the firefighters use the jaws of life to open the door of this car.

Aerial Training

2009-04-22T07:53:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday, April 21, 2009, the Perrysburg Fire Division conducted one of its two monthly drills. On this day the topic was aerial operations, to be more specific, deploying the outriggers. the outriggers are the large arms that come out from the sides of the tower. These outriggers are designed to keep the tower stable, by creating a larger footprint. The drill consisted of a powerpoint presentation followed by a hands on exercise. This drill was scheduled from 1900 hours until 2100 hours, however it was cut short by an emergency call to rescue a fisherman from the river. Some of the photos are in the slideshow to the left.

Water Rescue Training

2009-03-29T14:21:00.000-07:00

On March 26 and 27, 2009 the Perrysburg Fire Division joined the many fishermen in the Maumee River. The fire division however was there not to fish, but on a training exercise. This training is done annually and ensures that when called upon the members of the fire division will be able to assist anyone in need of assistance in the river. Crews trained on rescues from shore, practice their skill at boat operations, and each member got into the river so that the others could practice the rescue of someone in the fast moving water into the boat.
