THE HAGERMAN FIRE DEPARTMENT BENEFITS FROM
PL VULCAN FIRE TRAINING CONCEPT'S MAN VS.
MACHINERY CLASS
A woman walked into the firehouse for a ring
she couldn't get off her finger. Days before
this incident, members received training from PL
Vulcan Fire Training Concepts and were trained
on Man Vs. Machine training. The training
covered the Medical and Rescue Aspects of People
trapped in various types of machinery. Students
participated in the removal of mannequins from
such items as meat grinders, snow blowers and
lawn mowers. An impalement and ring removal
section was also provided and as you can see
from this video, the training paid off for one
lucky woman.

WELCOME TO
PL
VULCAN FIRE TRAINING CONCEPTS Our
Group is dedicated to continuing the training
traditions of Lieutenant Pete Lund, a 30 year
veteran of FDNY assigned to Rescue Company 2. During
Pete's three decades of fire duty, he became known
as "Vulcan" the Greek God of Fire. In 2002, he
formed a group of firefighters to go out and provide
realistic fire training across the country. Although
comprised mainly of FDNY members, most had a
background in the volunteer fire service. In 2005,
Pete died in the line of duty while operating at a
structure fire in his hometown of Woodmere, NY.
Although Pete is no longer physically with us,"his
guys" continue his mission of keeping the training
interesting and informational. We pride ourselves on
Pete's theory:"In
The Fire Service You Either Lead, Follow, Or Get Out
Of The Way"

ELEVATORS: INCIDENT OR EMERGENCY
Elevator Incidents and Emergencies occur
everyday across the country. Our class is a
2 part portion that can be conducted in 1 or
2 days (approx 4 hrs). The Classroom portion
is designed to provide the students with an
in depth look at the construction and
operation of elevators. Both traction and
hydraulic systems are discussed. The
necessary steps to mitigate an elevator
incident or emergency are also presented to
the students. Size-up, Lock-Out /Tag-out,
Elevator Key Use, Poling and Removal
Procedures are covered in this in-depth
powerpoint.
The Hands-On portion of the program puts all
of the classroom techniques to work. The
host Department provides an elevator and all
of the techniques used to mitigate an
incident and emergency are performed. If so
equipped, Fireman Service Use will also be
addressed. Class size depends upon the
ability of the host Department in securing
elevators to handle the student ratio.
