Black Township Fire welcomed over half a dozen agencies to their department on Saturday to refresh themselves on life-saving measures. Officials say the hands-on training they have isn’t available everywhere, and they wanted to extend the invitation to as many departments as they could in the Tri-State. Firefighters were trained on four scenarios, all designated to mimic real-life events that they could come across. The training focused on grain bin extrication, stabilizing vehicles in an accident, getting people out of cars involved in an accident, and body parts trapped in heavy machinery. All are emergencies Tri-State fire departments encounter. In Posey County alone, officials say there have been four grain bin accidents in five years. At the training, there wasn’t just one instructor, each firefighter was able to share their opinions and knowledge on more efficient and safer ways to execute these situations. Officials say each incident is unique, but the baseline training they’re able to provide can be the difference between life or death when it comes time to put the training to use.
