Training is key to jaws of life by Don Lawrence Terry Thompson and Steve Michael of Simcoe Rescue Squad, Barrie detachment, were present for Bell Canada's Family Safety Night last Thursday in Midland. They demonstrated for the large crowd present how the jaws of life operated, using a smashed-up Pinto wagon. Because of the rain, the car was towed inside for the demonstration. The equipment is the same as that which Midland's Fire Department is looking to have with the help of Midland Jaycees Save Life Campaign. It is hoped that within a three week period, the equipment will all be paid for. At the present time, the hand tools have been purchased but the jaws are yet to be gotten. Steven Michael, president of the Barrie area detachment, and Terry Thompson, head of training for Barrie, showed everyone how to remove door handles, how to break glass without hurting the person inside the car and how to open the door after it has been jammed. The Barrie unit has responded to 250 accidents in their 34 years of operation. With proper training, the 45 active members of the three existing units in Barrie, Tottenham and Orillia can cut a person out of a car within 3-10 minutes. Michael, however, stressed that this was with proper training, adding that some people have died due to improper use of the equipment. At this time, people can buy any of the equipment if they have the money. No training is advised to these people and that's where the problem lies according to Michael. Midland Fire Department have had four mem- bers attending the training they need in Barrie for several months. People using this equipment should undergo six months of training before they should even try it, and then not even in an accident situation. Trainees will go through the six month training and will only be allowed to watch at accidents until they are good enough. Michael feels that you will not be well enough trained with the jaws of life until you can pick up a raw egg with them and not break it. As he says, "you can't stress training enough!"
