Extrication Demonstration The Jackson Township First Aid Squad joined the Jackson Police Department and the township's fire departments, along with many local businesses, in celebrating the National Night Out on August 6 at the Shoprite on County Line Road.
More than 15 squad members participated. The Squad joined the Jackson Mills Fire Company, Station 54, in a demonstration of auto extrication. JMFC demonstrated a variety of extrication equipment, removing the doors from the car, before the Squad used a backboard and other equipment to remove the occupant from the car.
The Squad's new ambulance - 226 - was on display, and Squad members answered questions, demonstrated CPR, and even handled the occasional need for minor first aid (helping make a skinned knee feel better). The Cadet Corps offered free blood pressure screenings to members of the local community.
