Automobile Extrication and Stabilization Drill

On November 11, 2026, Westminster hosted a joint Automobile Extrication and Stabilization drill with Reese Volunteer Fire Department. With ever increasing speeds and congestion out on the roadways today, rescues are becoming more complex. So our tools and training have to be more complex.  Members learned how to safely and effectively stabilize an automobile that was rolled over on its side. They we able to learn how to safely remove an entrapped occupant from that car. Members also took time to learn what Rescue Squad 9 carries and how their impressive equipment inventory can aide us when performing those rescues. A big thank you to Reese for coming out to support us during our training.
