Bark River Emergency Services and Lisbon Fire Department Hosting 2 nd Annual S.A.F.E.ty Dayz Motor vehicle crashes continue to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in America. In 2016, over 37,000 lives were lost on our roadways. Surviving a motor vehicle crash is dependent on the severity of the crash and the injuries incurred, but it is also linked to the response times of skilled rescue teams and a well coordinated trauma care system. Since 1984, auto extrication learning symposiums have been held throughout the United States, Canada, and many other parts of the world. Vehicle extrication and learning symposiums serve as a catalyst for sharing, learning and exchanging knowledge among participants; thus providing motivation and a wealth of information to further the proficiency of rescuers ultimately saving more lives! Teams participate in both Unlimited Pit and Mutual Aid Pit. Each scenario is set up with vehicles systematically crushed to create actual damage while impinging rescue manikins (no two scenarios are the same). Teams are then summoned to the pit to perform a vehicle extrication rescue. Team performances are critiqued by a team of experienced rescuers/evaluators using specific performance criteria. Bark River Emergency Services has limited this challenge to ten teams and the registration fee is $100 per team. Registration forms can be obtained by contacting Dave Dean, Fire Chief, Hartland FD, at 262-367-6878. The deadline date for registration is May 2, 2018, and is on a first-come, first-serve basis. A team meeting and learning symposium will be held Friday evening, June 1, 2018. Extrication tools and equipment will be provided. After teams have participated in this event, the registration fee will be refunded to the applicable department.
