STATION 36: Firefighters show how they rescue car crash victims

Something new at the Unionville Community Fair this year was a demonstration by the Po-Mar-Lin firefighters of how they rescue people trapped in cars. It was fascinating to watch (given that there wasn't an injured victim inside, of course). First they secured the car in place, then they cut out the windshield, removed the doors and finally sawed off the top. The men and women worked with the efficiency of a well-trained pit crew. We're lucky to have these volunteers (Po-Mar-Lin is still an all-volunteer force) on our side when they're needed.
