On July 20, staff and volunteer firefighters of Central Frontenac Fire and Rescue held an open house for the public at Station Three, located on Wagner Road. The event included various demonstrations by firefighters, including an auto extrication demonstration on a vehicle donated by the North Frontenac Telephone Company.
The firefighters demonstrated how they use the Jaws of Life on badly damaged vehicles, where they cut off the car door and peel back the roof of the vehicle to remove the patient from within. They also demonstrated how to properly put out a fire with a fire extinguisher by setting alight an electric stove top and then putting the fire out using the extinguisher. Guests also had a chance to use the extinguisher as well.
This was the first time staff and volunteers at the station put on such an event and Fire Chief Bill Young said there are plans to hold another similar event in the future.
