On Saturday April 28, BPVFD opened its doors as part of #RecruitNY, encouraging the public to come and see our equipment and meet our members. The department performed a mock vehicle extrication involving the complete demolition of a minivan. Members demonstrated techniques of both removing a patient from a vehicle and removing a vehicle from a patient. Your membership and involvement in the fire service is an application away!
