Over the past two weeks, members of have been training in rope rescue operations, focusing on a variety of high-hazard scenarios. Crews worked through complex evolutions including high and low angle rescues, elevator emergencies, and the use of aerial apparatus for access and patient removal. Every scenario reinforces the skills, teamwork, and decision-making required to operate safely and effectively.

We would like to thank Spec Rescue International, Inc. for the excellent training opportunity.

Right place. Right time.

On March 30th, Engine 2 and Ambulance 1 were operating at a medical emergency on Central Park Terrace when a passing driver pulled over next to the ambulance, stating he wasn’t feeling well. Within moments, the driver became unresponsive inside the vehicle.

Members quickly removed him from the car and found he was not breathing and had no pulse. Crews immediately initiated life-saving measures and deployed advanced life support equipment from Ambulance 1. Prior to the arrival of a second ambulance, the patient had already regained a pulse and was subsequently transported to the hospital.

Today, that same patient stopped by the station to personally thank the members who helped save his life.

Every member of Local 2637 is also a paramedic, and situations like this highlight the impact of that level of training and readiness.
