We have a team that uses atv's for search, haz mat, any type of incident that they are needed, We have 2 carry-out trailers that hold stokes baskets and are small enough to be used in rough terrain. We took the training from a group in Western N.C. that has there own team. The class was named Atv use in the Fire and rescue service. Also check out www.atvsar.com, They offer classes also
Mike Brady here. I'm one of the two guys that delivered your "Penski Yellow" All Terrain Res-Q ATR-2 off-road patient transport trailer last year. Do you have any of the digital pictures of the trailer that were taken during the off-road rescue training the weekend after our delivery? Someone was going to email them to us, but never got around to it. We posted a story about your department on our website: http://www.EEResQ.com, but we used a staged pic that I took. Once on the website homepage, skroll down and the story is 5 images down the page.
Be SAFE out there!
Many thanks to the gut who played the role of the cadaver. He looks great!
There were two of these rescue trailers at the 2010 Kentucky Homeland Security Conference and State Fire / Rescue School last week. One, was on the exhibits display floor, and the other was in use with the Farm / ATV Safety and Rescue class. The ATV rescue trailer on the display floor was delivered to the Lexington, KY, Division of Fire and EMS on Monday.
For more information on what we are doing to keep ATV / UTV / ORV riders safe, and to improve emergency response when the unexpected happens out on the trail, visit: www.EEResQ.com.
I've been requested to assist a service in developing ATV/UTV SOPs or SOGs for off road rescue operations. They just received a Polaris 6X6 from their EMA and will be transporting patients in the bed on a MedLite EMS insert and will be using an All Terrain ResQ trailer for two patient haul outs when needed. The image above is an example of the rig they'll be operating. So, if anyone already has a template for this topic, I'll fine tune it to this departmant's mission and kick the finished product back out for everyone to use. Thanks! Mike Brady
