Members of the FCFD trained last Thursday night on the Paratech stabilization system used by the department. Guest instructor for the evening was Craig Mignogno from Rescue 16 with the Columbus Fire Department.
Firefighters works on several facets of stabilization from basics of cribbing, simple systems with the Paratech struts, and understanding some of the many features that the system has.
The FCFD received all of the stabilization equipment from a recent Ohio BWC grant. Paratech is the leader in stabilization, a rated, system, and the vey expandable system allows the FCFD for future growth. Beyond vehicle stabilization they can be used for lifting, trench rescue, structural shoring, rope rescue, and many other areas in the fire service.
