Working “On Air”

 
February 18, 2026
 

During tonight’s drill, members practiced working "On Air," which refers to using air-powered tools.

The training included an overview of the Paratech working air cart, Paratech airbags, and all pneumatic tools found on Rescue 5. Seneca Hose is equipped with a large complement of Paratech high-pressure airbags due to the high hazard presented by large commercial vehicles that frequently travel through the district on the Route 90.
