On November 14th & 15th Deputy Chief Barry Messner, FF/EMT Ed Walters, and FF/EMT Bob Klinger, Jr. traveled to the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center to participate in a 16 hours Bus Rescue Course. The course is a 16 hour Department of Health recognized course that focuses on types of buses, bus designs and construction, logistics and considerations of incidents involving school buses, patient triage, as well as extrication techniques and concluded with an 8 hours hands on practical exercise on a school bus.
Members were evaluated on the ability to perform tasks safely which focused on window removal, front and rear door removal, enlarging window frames for access/egress "picture window", displacing a dashboard and opening a roof to gain more access space. Honey Brook members were joined by fellow Chester County members from Goshen Fire Company as well as numerous Lancaster County Organizations.
