Today we started the day with a visit from the Chief of the Department. He showed us some well used turnout gear and a few photos. It was very interesting and very eye opening.
We then viewed a few slides about Hydraulic tools. After that, we headed out to the drill ground and ran through a few stations.
1st station had us cutting with Reciprocating saws and working with a come-along. At the 2nd station, we stabilized a vehicle using air bags and cribbing. At the 3rd station we played with the three common hydraulic tools (the spreaders, clippers, and the ram).
The time was 12:30, so we broke for lunch.
After lunch, we headed back out to the drill ground. This time for five stations.
1: Hydraulic cutting (doors, frames, etc.)
2: Rolling back the dash using hydraulic tools
3: Pulling the steering column back using a come along
4: Operating an Air Chisel
5: Setting up air bags
It was a very fun and educational day. Tomorrow we put our skills to the test. It should be a good time.
