This past week, the Milford Professional Firefighters have been hard at work training on vehicle lifting and stabilization. In this scenario, crews practiced rescuing a patient trapped between two vehicles, with one car piled on top of another. Using cribbing, ratchet straps, rescue struts, and chains, our members tested various techniques to create a stable platform, ensuring safe patient access and extrication. Practicing these life-saving skills is essential to keeping the community safe.

Last week, three of our members participated in NASBLA’s Boat Operator Search and Rescue (BOSAR) course, training alongside West Haven, West Shore, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 73. The advanced hands-on training covered risk management, maritime SAR patterns, vessel operations, victim rescue, and vessel towing. Members also networked with instructors and mutual aid partners from West Haven. As a coastal community, it’s critical we stay well-equipped and trained for marine-based emergencies.

The Milford Oyster Festival is coming up fast!

Unfortunately, due to changes in this year’s festival format, we’ve had to make the difficult decision not to set up our dunk tank. For the first time in over 30 years, we won’t be at the festival with the tank. While we’re disappointed, we promise the dunk tank will be back!

That said, your Local 944 firefighters will still be at the event raising money for one of our own. You’ll find us downtown and at the festival on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16. We’ll be hosting a Fill the Boot fundraiser and selling a limited number of T-shirts. If you can’t find us—we’ll find you!
This year’s proceeds will go to Hope for Hailey. Hailey is the daughter of one of our firefighters and will be undergoing multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation at Boston Children’s Hospital early next year. She and her family will be living in Boston for several months. All funds raised through Fill the Boot will go directly to support Hailey and her family as they take on the next steps in Hailey’s journey.

We can’t wait to see you all soon at Milford Oyster Festival! Come say hi, grab a shirt, and help us support Hailey!
