AVALON, NJ: Firefighters of the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department continued the fall training calendar October 12th, focusing on car crashes and adding industrial accidents. Members used scrap municipal vehicles to train on vehicle crashes. Avalon firefighters drill every Monday to learn new skills and reinforce best practices.

On the 12th, Firefighters trained on basic extrication tools for removing pinned victims from inside vehicles. The Borough council invested in cordless battery-powered Hurst extrication tools last year, a direct descendant of the original Jaws-of-Life.

Members also trained for industrial accidents, considering the scenario of a construction dumpster pinning a victim, which may require high-pressure lifting airbags to remove.

Important information from our partners at the Cape May County Fire Marshal's Office:

FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE WARNS RESIDENTS ABOUT FLOOD-DAMAGED BATTERIES

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ - The Cape May County Fire Marshal's Office is asking residents to use caution with batteries and battery-powered devices that may have been exposed to flood water.
A battery does not have to look damaged to be unsafe. Water exposure can damage lithium-ion and other rechargeable batteries and may cause them to overheat, catch fire, or explode.
If a battery or battery-powered device has been in flood water, do not plug it in, charge it, or try to test it.
This includes batteries used in power tools, e-bikes and e-scooters, cell phones, laptops, tablets, backup power systems, and other rechargeable devices.
Flood-damaged batteries should also not be placed in household trash or curbside recycling. A damaged battery can create a fire hazard during collection, transportation, or processing.
Residents who are unsure whether a battery has been damaged, or who need information about proper disposal, should contact the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) Headquarters at 609-465-9026 before handling or disposing of the battery.
The Fire Marshal's Office reminds residents that if there is any question about whether a battery was exposed to flood water, the safest course is to leave it unplugged and get guidance before using or disposing of it.
