On Saturday June 6th, 2009 six members of the Halfmoon Fire Department participated in the UTV EVOC course at Tom Ashmore Enterprises training facility in Woodbury, CT. They participated in the 1 Day basic UTV Tactical Operators Course. The course included both lecture and hands on training. The hands on training allowed each member to navigate each component of the course. Components included basic operations of the UTV, navigator guiding the operator, patient handling and evacuation, and using the UTV in a search operation. The operations component included negotiating inclines, hills, rough terrain (logs, rocks, sand, and mud), water crossings, and rope stabilization. Lt. Rick Gaudette said it was one of the best training courses he's attended in his 20 year career as a firefighter. The Halfmoon Fire Department would like to thank Tom, Randy, and Tom's wife for the wonderful hospitality, training, and instruction. |
