Vehicle Rescue Drill
09/30/2023
On September 30th, the Phillipsburg Emergency Squad hosted an in-house vehicle extrication drill to allow our newer rescue technicians to hone their skills in a controlled environment. Technicians started out with the basic skills such as box cribbing, utilization of step chocks, Paratech strut deployment, etc. Throughout the day, we gradually increased the difficulty leading up to the final scenario. For this scenario, our crews arrived to find an unrestrained driver partially ejected through the windshield, a second unrestrained adult patient in the passenger seat, and an unrestrained child dummy in the back seat on the floor. Crews had to plan rapidly and cautiously to remove the patients without causing further injury.
Crews worked quickly and diligently to stabilize, extricate and remove the patients from the vehicle. All members in attendance put forth great effort to polish their skills and learn valuable skills to provide the best services possible for our communities.
Instructors for the day: Chief James Campbell, Sergeant Cody Reiger, FTO Mark Oswald, Rescue Tech Tim Johnson & Rescue Tech Tim Burrell
A special thanks to our local partner Rossnagles Service Center & Towing for providing us with 2 vehicles to utilize in the drill. We thank you for your continued support over the years!

Stryker Power Load System
February 20, 2018
The Phillipsburg Emergency Squad recently upgraded their equipment to better suit the needs of the members and community. In this upgrade, the squad purchased a Stryker Power Load System and Power Stretcher. This new system is capable of lifting up to 800lbs with the push of a single button. The system will load the stretcher into the ambulance with guidance from the member operating the equipment which will reduce the risk of injuries to our members. This is just another example on how the organization continues to improve the overall picture of care for the community.
