Today Blue Watch visited HSDC to familiarise ourselves with the building and assess the risks within the premises. Our crews thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals within the Animal Care building.

Yesterday Blue Watch liaised with our local scrap yard, EMR Metal Recycling, where they kindly orientated a vehicle for us to simulate a car on its roof, so that our crews were able to practice the 'clam technique', a method used to maximise space for an efficient extrication.

Blue Watch explored the differences between a quick and effective rescue for a casualty under a car using an E-draulic spreader and Chocks & Blocks, versus a more technical rescue using Paratech & Airbags for a rescue involving a casualty under a HGV.

Blue Watch refreshed their knowledge on branch techniques this evening. Selecting the appropriate branch setting is crucial for delivering an effective attack on the fire, adapting to the changing conditions in front of us.

Today Blue Watch liaised with our friends in blue at King's Academy Northern Parade's school fete! #jesip #oneteam 🚒🤝🏼🚓

Yesterday, Blue Watch visited Ferryspeed to familiarise ourselves with modern articulated trucks and the safety systems in and around their cabs 🚛
