Rescue and Vehicle Stabilization Training

On February 24th, 25th & 26th the firefighters from Cherry Hill Rescue Company 13, Squad 13 and Mt. Laurel Rescue Company 36 trained with Helmrich's Tow Company on simulated motor vehicle accidents.  The firefighters focused on winch operations using chains and wire rope to stabilize, lift, lower and move vehicles that have been involved in motor vehicle accidents. 
 
Charlie King of Helmrich's Towing has been working with the Cherry Hill Fire Department and other local fire departments over the past several years ensuring that firefighters have the knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively and safely operate on a motor vehicle accident.
