The Scugog Fire Depart- ment has been involved with extrication of accident victims using "The Jaws of Life" for many years. Over the years the equipment and techniques have become very sophisticat- ed. The department has over $50,000 in extrication equip- ment, but for the competitions the team must use the equip- ment provided by Hurst. le the six members of the team have been practising for months for the competition, all members of the Scugog Fire De- partment receive on-going training in extrication tech- niques.
