•4.16.05: Air Bag Training For The 41 House•
About 15 of Company 41's bravest boarded Engine & Rescue 41 to attend a training set up at the Hellam Township Municipal Building.

President Fred Smeltzer, Sr., who planned the scenario, was awaiting the crew's arrival.  There was an infant trapped under a large steel grate.  There were 3 teams, and each team used their own unique rescue skills to free the infant without any further injury.  The crews kept in mind; stabilization, patient & scene safety, and time of extrication.  All 3 teams completed the tasks presented without further incident.
