Where firefighters come to talk training

Auger Extrication Prop

All the pieces came together for this auger extrication prop. I originally saw the idea on Brotherhood Instructors page, check it out here.

Firefighter Josh Goetz (Carroll Township FD) was instrumental in locating an old auger from a combine. Firefighter Kevin Killgor, also from Carroll Township FD lined up a shop for us to fabricate the prop. JD Vasbinder suggested adding an electric box to simulate lock-out/tag-out and we were lucky to find an old one laying in the shop. Read on.

Pass it on!
