Boot Camp: Vital Training, But a Family Reunion TooThe start of school means different things to different students.
Every year since 2007 for members of the Saint Michael's Fire & Rescue squads, it's meant "Boot Camp" -- five days of special training that allows veteran and new members to get reoriented and back in the rhythms of their important life-and-death work beyond the classroom. Part of Boot Camp this year was a training simulation on Wednesday, Aug. 27, at the steep hill by the jug handle near Merrill Cemetery across Route 15 from campus. The exercise, lasting from about 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., offered practice for about 35 participating members from both the fire and rescue units at responding properly to a car wreck over an embankment. In the simulation, the "patient," played by senior Rescue member Emily Polo '15, needed to be extricated from the wreck, kept stable medically and transported by backboard in a special basket up the embankment to a waiting ambulance. |
