This past December, the Michipicoten Volunteer Fire Department was the recipient of $6,976.75. This generous donation from LP Building Solutions has been allocated to our equipment fund. This money will be used to purchase a new battery-operated extrication tool, called an edraulic cutter, that will replace our old hydraulic cutter.
Some of the advantages to the WVFD of having a battery-operated set of extrication tools is as follows:
- The tools are much lighter to handle and use, resulting in greatly reduced potential for firefighter muscle skeletal injuries.
- Eliminates the need for using a loud, gas-powered motor, resulting in better overall scene communication and less potential for hearing injury.
- Eliminates the need of hydraulic hoses, eliminating potential tripping hazards and resulting in overall improved scene safety.
- Eliminates the need for caustic hydraulic oils, eliminating the potential of a spill into the environment, resulting in reduced overall environmental impacts.
- Uses battery power rather than a gas engine, resulting in less CO2 contribution to the environment.
The Michipicoten Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank Bradley Case and LP Building Solutions for this very generous donation.
