Fantastic Job Guys!!!!!This morning at 10:05 hours our dive team was requested into District 2 for a vehicle submerged in the water , unknown if occupied. Car 56 , Car 562 , Rescue 56 , and Special Ops 56 towing Marine 2 and Marine 3 responded. Once on scene the team gathered information and entered the water. Shortly after the first diver descended , the vehicle was located. After confirming there were no occupants and searching the immediate area , the divers came to shore and waited for the tow company. Once the wrecker arrived divers entered the water to assist in rigging the vehicle for removal. After the vehicle was removed the team was released after operating for 3 and 1/2 hours. ...

Just one of Fire District 1’s Fire Companies. Training, is a big part of success. Great Job Station 44.

Remember, if you want to be a firefighter ask a firefighter. Stop in one of our stations or visit our website. Www.ftfd1.comYesterday the Middlebush Volunteer Fire Department drilled on Argo operations. Members went to a local farm to practice driving, rescue operations, and general maintenance of our Argo all-terrain vehicle. This vehicle is used to access otherwise difficult to reach areas, such as someone stuck down a trail in the woods. It can cross almost all terrain, including snow and still bodies of water. This drill was a good opportunity for seasoned drivers to hone their skills, and a few members to further meet the requirements needed to become qualified drivers. It also allowed for newer members to get an introduction on how to operate effectively in a support role to the Argo operator as a crew member. Great job to everyone who participated! If you’re interested in volunteering stop by the firehouse on any Tuesday night between the hours of 7:30-10 PM. You can also visit our website at www.middlebushfire.com for more information. ...
