This past week, FAST Rescue Solutions came out and did a demonstration and training on a product that a lot of area companies are purchasing to assist with the rescue of a down firefighter. Members from Swedeland and Goodwill in Bridgeport were in attendance and were very impressed with the board and it’s use. We will be purchasing 2 and readjusting our FAST team procedures thanks to this rescue board. Thank you to Chris Simpson from Philly Ladder 19 for the Demo. We really appreciate it. ...

Swedeland Volunteer Fire Company

Shortly after 10:00 PM on Sunday, June 23rd Station 49, Ladder 48, and Engine 32 got dispatched to a Non-Commercial Building Fire with reports of flames from the side of the building. Chief 49 arrived on scene to smoke and fire showing. Chief 49 went with the confirmed structure dispatch, which brought additional units. Squirt 49 arrived on scene and stretched a line into the structure for an interior attack on the fire. Shortly after the interior attack commenced the stability of the structure seemed to be deteriorating and the call for an evacuation of the building was called. Defensive operations then began to fight the fire from the exterior. As a bulk of the fire was knocked the fire continued to rekindle and build back up. The building had been severely damaged by fire and became a collapse hazard while it still continued to rekindle spot fires. The decision was made to call in an excavator to knock the building down. After this was done the remains were soaked in a mixture of water and foam to prevent rekindling. 49 units were made available around 2:40 am. We would like to thank the local fire companies and standby companies that assisted in this operation.
