This morning members of the Round Lake Fire Department conducted training on our grip hoists. Round Lake is one of a handful of departments in our region to have this specialized tool for use is vehicle extrication and rescue applications. The last two photos below show it in use at a vehicle extrication. Photos courtesy of S.O. Parker.

You need us, we need you! Please consider volunteering today. https://www.rlfd.org/join/volunteer-application/

This is Phil Ratzer of Kelly Farms. We met Phil on Saturday while conducting this year’s Santa Express. Phil was digging out a hydrant. It wasn’t in front of his house but it may be the one needed if there is a fire in his neighborhood. Thank you to Phil and all of you who have cleared hydrants over the the weekend.

Thank you to everyone who greeted us along our route today. This is one of our favorite activities. We would like to thank our volunteers who make this and everything we do possible. Last night they were out past 1:00 am assisting Saratoga Springs with a rescue and some were back at the station by 6:30 am to start setting up. We would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays.
