The Adamsburg and Community Volunteer Fire Department <\/strong>and surrounding local fire departments continued there training with the second installment in the Basic Vehicle Rescue (BVR) Class.\u00a0 This portion of BVR\u00a0is considered the operations section.\u00a0 Students learned to utilize hand tools, air tools, and electric powered tools to extricate patients from vehicles that have been involved in collisions.\u00a0 Tools ranging from sawzalls to air chisels were used by the students.\u00a0 These basic tools are taught in this section of the class prior to the next class that utilizes hydraulic power tools or the “Jaws of Life”.\u00a0 It is important\u00a0for students to\u00a0learn these basic tools as they are just as important on an emergency as the “Jaws of Life”. \u00a0So for this class they had to disassemble vehicles using these basic tools.\u00a0As you can see they were very successful. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t
