Fire Department
purchases new
equipment
Susan H-undertmark
New $20,000 hydraulic
extrication equipment will
allow Seaforth firefighters
to increase their speed and
confidence at car acci-
dents, says Seaforth dis-
trict fire chief Tom
Phillips.
The Seaforth Fire
Department recently pur-
chased two new tools with
the help of the Seaforth
Community Development
Trust. A cutter and a
spreader - both of which..
are operated by the same
power pack, were bought. •
"We've never had power
tools before. These are to
complement the hand
tools," says Phillips,
adding the power tools can
"snip off a steering wheel"
if need be.
Seaforth firefighters
have already had six
hours of training on the
new hydraulic tools and
will continue to train with
them, says Phillips.
Phillips says he went to
the trust asking for finan-
cial assistance since the
firefighters make about:
$1,500 every time they
hold their Canada Day
breakfast.
"We'd have to do 10-15
breakfasts for these
$20,000 tools," he said. "I
thought I'd go to the trust
and explain the situation
that these tools will set us
up in a good position to
extricate victims and get
them to the hospital
quicker," he said.
