Seneca Hose members recently completed comprehensive training in vehicle stabilization and air bag operations.

During the hands-on session, crews practiced techniques for securing vehicles involved in accidents, creating a safe and controlled environment for both patients and responders. The training included the use of stabilization struts, cribbing, and step chocks to prevent movement during extrication efforts.

Members also received detailed instruction on air bag operations, focusing on safely lifting and stabilizing vehicles with high-pressure lifting bags in various scenarios. The training emphasized proper equipment setup, weight distribution, and maintaining constant scene awareness.

Ongoing training like this helps ensure members are prepared to respond efficiently and safely when emergency situations arise.
