Motor Vehicle Rescue on I-795
New Medic 415 Ordered
The Reisterstown VFC has ordered a new medic unit to replace Medic 415. The new Medic 415 will be manufactured by Road Rescue in Winter Park Florida. It will be mounted on a 2017 Dodge 5500 4×4. The new unit will have an all aluminum body that will be mounted on a liquid spring suspension. The new unit will have a Stryker Power load system to assist loading the cot in the rear of the unit. The cost of maintaining our current 10 year old unit has been steadily rising. The new unit should be in Reisterstown sometime this winter.

Extrication Training
Every so often we get some vehicles donated to the firehouse so we can do training on efficient methods of extricating patients out of vehicles. Last night was one of those nights. We had all the tools of the squad and practiced opening doors, cutting, removing the roof, removing the rear tail gate etc.

We were on scene for about an hour and helped pack up hoses for the first in companies.
