Members of the Northville Township Fire Department recently participated in two days of rigorous specialty training with the Western Wayne County Mutual Aid Association. The Urban Search and Rescue team, which has three members from Northville Township, performed structural collapse and trench rescue operations on the first day of training at Legacy Park and conducted wide-area search operations on day two at Maybury State Park. During the wide area search mapping crews were "deployed" to locate a "missing person".
The drill included a simulated subject lost in the park who had suffered injuries from a fallen tree. As crews located the simulated victim, medical specialists were able to provide first aid and crews were able to package the patient and transport the subject for transport for definitive care.
