Comment by wayne frary on July 10, 2009 at 4:33am - Hello everyone and greetings from England. Firstly, well done Becky, just remember that you are now up to date with current teachings and some of the older guys might not agree with certain things you might say or do, so be prepared for that. We call it 'road traffic collision' (rtc) over here and I am our rtc instructor for my watch (crew). As being the youngest myself, I got the stubborn ones, but once I showed them the modern way, they soon came around. Good luck girl in your career.

- I am so happy, I just completed the Basic Vehicle Rescue class that my company held, and passed the state test. Of the 17 of us who started the class, 4 completed it and took the test, and all 4 passed. But this has made me not only our youngest, but the only female BVR technician in my company!

Comment by Mark Klaene on April 21, 2009 at 12:03pm - saw an article in Fire Engineering about placing air bags between the tires and the trailer underside on an 18 wheeler to raise the trailer up a few inches inorder to get a car out from under it. I would like to know more if folks have any particulars such as: how much lift can you get, how well it works, how much lifting force you can get, do you place bags on 1 side or both, do you need 4 bags if both. Anymore info would be helpful as it sounds like a great idea.
