Several Canton Fire & Rescue Members who primary role is with EMS attended a drill to learn the basics of our SCOTT Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. Members learned what each component of the pack was and how to operate it along with proper donning and doffing of the packs. They went through timed drills to improve speed of donning and also performed various EMS tasks while on air including vital signs, back boarding, packaging and loading patients, and traction splinting. It is important for our EMS members to be familiar with this equipment in the event of a HAZMAT operation and to be able to assist with scene support on the fire scene. Thank you to all that came and participated.
