The Budd Lake fire department trained in Motor Vehicle Extrication. Incident size ups, different extrication techniques, and scenarios that the departmentt could be involved in. New members practiced with tool usage, and familiarization of new tools the department acquired. All doors and a full roof removal was conducted. Overall a good morning drill.

This morning BLFD held their monthly rapid intervention crew drill. This drill though was different. Mutual aid Ric's from Netcong FD, Chester FD, Randolph FD, Hackettstown FD, Mendham Boro FD, Allamuchy FD and Schooleys Mountain FD held an open discussion on the roles of the RIC supervisor and RIC leader. Thank you for all those in attendance and we look forward to many more drills together in the future!!
