This week, our members continued their vehicle extrication training with several challenging scenarios designed to strengthen their skills, teamwork, and coordination with EMS.

Scenario 1 – Engine 21 & West Greenwich EMS

The crew of Engine 21 worked alongside West Greenwich EMS on a vehicle that had rolled onto its roof with a victim trapped in the driver’s seat. Members stabilized the vehicle using Rescue 42 struts, removed the driver-side doors, and worked with EMS to safely extricate the victim.

Scenario 2 – Engine 22

The crew of Engine 22 faced a vehicle resting on its side. Members performed a tieback stabilization using Paratech struts, securing the vehicle to Engine 22. Once the vehicle was stabilized, the crew removed the doors to gain access to the victim.

To add another challenge, after the victim was removed from the first scenario, members continued training by removing the roof of the overturned vehicle while it was stabilized off the ground.

Our members had the opportunity to work through realistic scenarios, practice critical stabilization and extrication techniques, and strengthen the teamwork needed to operate safely and effectively at an emergency scene.

A big thank-you to West Greenwich EMS for working alongside our members and helping make this training a success!

Trunk or Treat at Metcalf School Tonight from 5-7

15/10/2026

This week, we challenged our members with a technical vehicle stabilization scenario involving two overturned vehicles stacked on top of each other.

Our members had to develop a plan, communicate effectively, and work together as a team to safely accomplish the mission. Both vehicles were cradled and stabilized, allowing our members to successfully remove the doors from the bottom vehicle.

We’re also excited to announce that we recently added a second set of Rescue 42 stabilization struts to Engine 21, making both of our engines equipped and capable of handling vehicle stabilization incidents.

Training like this helps our members build the skills, confidence, and teamwork needed to handle challenging situations on the scene of an emergency.

As a longtime sponsor of EWG Little League, we were excited to welcome our Tee Ball team to the fire station tonight!

The kids had a great time meeting our members, checking out the fire trucks, and enjoying some pizza with the crew. It was a great opportunity to spend time with these young athletes and show them a little about what we do.

Supporting our local youth and being part of our community is something we’re proud of. Thank you to EWG Little League for allowing us to be part of the team!
