A big thank you to Paul O for his hard work and dedication in completing his Eagle Scout project benefiting SWFD Station 1!

Paul transformed a portion of the station’s backyard from a grassy area into a beautiful new picnic space, creating a welcoming place for our volunteer firefighters to relax, share a meal, and enjoy some downtime together.

Projects like this are a great example of community service in action. Paul’s efforts will benefit our members for years to come and serve as a lasting reminder of the difference one person can make.

We would also like to recognize and thank Boy Scout Troop 62, Samsel Management, Harkens Garden Center, and the South Windsor Lions for their support and contributions to making this project possible. It’s wonderful to see our community come together to support those who volunteer their time serving others.

On behalf of the South Windsor Volunteer Fire Department, thank you, Paul, for your commitment, generosity, and a job well done! We wish you continued success on your Scouting journey!

*TRAINING*

Confined Space/Technical Rescue Training

Yesterday evening, members of the SWFD’s Rescue Squad accompanied by additional SWFD personnel were presented with a surprise training scenario. Crews were told to stage at Station 3 at 6:45 PM with no additional information, and then were dispatched to a simulated report of a worker face down inside of a tank at ESI on Brookfield Street.

Rescue 5, Squad 2, and Tower 1, and Car 19 responded and went to work at this combination hazmat, confined space, and high-angle technical rescue. The group performed very well, and successfully rescued the “victim” (a training mannequin) from the confined space in a timely fashion, following all necessary precautions and safety steps.

A big thank you to Past DC Papp and FF Murtha for setting up this challenge for the Rescue Squad, and to Environmental Services, Inc. for letting us use their property and equipment. Another thank you to the South Windsor Police Dispatch center for participating in the drill.
