Wrapping up a busy last few days…

Rescue Services were requested to assist with a horse stuck in a pond on Thursday. (photos from 29 fire)

Saturday 7 members participated in the quarterly Hunterdon County Urban Search and Rescue exercise at the Hunterdon County Training Center. Duty crews handled a busy Saturday with numerous calls for service.

Sunday our Junior/Observer program gathered for a few hours to improve their familiarity with less frequently used equipment. Additionally, they worked a more realistic cardiac arrest scenario with EMT 3rds leading those who have not completed EMT class. Our 170 pound mannequin was placed in a difficult/crowded position and the crews had to first move the patient to an area conducive to initiate effective CPR. Afterwards a review of what went well and what could be improved upon was conducted with the onboarding staff.

Yesterday Heavy Rescue 22-5, Utility 22-5 and MSU responded into Somerset County for a horse rescue along with South Branch Emergency Services, Inc. for a horse stuck in a pond. A bipod was set up off Heavy Rescue 22-5 in order to lift the horse out of the pond. 9 members responded while our two duty crews covered our primary area.

Last night around 2115 hours, Whitehouse Rescue was dispatched to a motor vehicle collision. While en route, the call was upgraded to an entrapment, adding Readington Fire and Three Bridges Fire to the response.

Upon arrival, BLS 2251 and BLS 2253 began assessing two patients entrapped in separate vehicles. BLS 2253, Heavy Rescue 225, and Squad 32 worked on stabilization and extrication of one occupant, while BLS 2251, Three Bridges Fire, and Readington Fire stabilized the second vehicle and removed the second patient.

Both patients were transported by Whitehouse Rescue with Hunterdon Health Paramedics to a local trauma center by ground. NorthSTAR was unavailable due to weather conditions.

Recently, all Readington agencies trained together on a school bus accident drill that emphasized coordination and resource management while handling multiple high-priority tasks within the same incident. That teamwork and preparation were evident during this incident.

Tonight, our crews had the incredible opportunity to reunite with Robert — a former patient who went into cardiac arrest during a soccer game at Summer Road Park back in August.

Thanks to the quick actions of bystanders and first responders, Robert regained a pulse before arriving at the hospital. His recovery is a powerful testament to the life-saving impact of teamwork, training, and CPR.

Robert and his family visited our station and generously brought food to share with the crew members who helped save his life. It was an emotional and humbling evening for everyone involved.

We also learned more about the amazing group of bystanders who jumped into action — including retired law enforcement, nurses, and even a commercial airline pilot. Their combined training and willingness to step in made all the difference. They started CPR and rescue breaths until Readington Police Officers Ramos and Donovan delivered the first AED shock.

Shortly after, Whitehouse Rescue Captain Waseleski and FF/EMT Levison arrived, continued CPR, and administered a second AED shock — that’s when Robert regained a pulse and began breathing on his own. Hunterdon County Communications and Hunterdon Health MICU also played a critical role in Robert’s care.This was an incredible team effort from start to finish.

This moment serves as a powerful reminder of how important it is to learn CPR. In an emergency, every second counts — and the actions taken in the first few minutes can truly be the difference between life and death. Whether you sign up with us or another organization, learning CPR saves lives!

We’re so grateful to see Robert doing well — and honored to have been part of his story. Pictured below is Robert, his family and everyone involved in his rescue!

This morning, Readington Township Emergency Services conducted a comprehensive large-scale training exercise at the Readington Department of Public Works. The drill brought together multiple emergency response disciplines to coordinate and execute joint operations during a mass casualty incident in two simulated large-scale incidents involving a school bus with 18 mock patients.

Scenario 1:
The first scenario simulated a collision between a school bus and a passenger vehicle. The sedan became lodged beneath the bus, resulting in significant injuries to both the entrapped driver and multiple bus occupants. Fire and Rescue units worked to stabilize the bus, disentangle the sedan, and extricate the driver, while EMS personnel triaged, treated, and transported the simulated patients from the bus.

Scenario 2:
The second scenario involved an overturned school bus on a narrow roadway, with a secondary vehicle located nearby whose driver was heavily entrapped. The overturned bus had also partially pinned a passenger. Fire and Rescue units divided personnel to address both incidents simultaneously, using specialized equipment—including a rotator provided by Superior Towing—to lift the bus and safely remove the trapped patient. EMS teams triaged, treated, and transported patients, including those unable to self-extricate.

Following each scenario, participating agencies held structured debriefings to review performance, identify strengths, and discuss areas for improvement. The exercise provided an excellent opportunity for interagency collaboration and skill enhancement among township departments.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Brian at Bagel Junction for donating bagels and Ralph at Sorella's Pizza & Pasta for providing food for all participants.

Additional thanks to:
-Civil Air Patrol Group 223 for serving as volunteer patients
-Readington Township, NJ OEM/DPW for assisting with site preparation and scenario setup
-Superior Towing & Transport LLC for their continued partnership and on-site support
-Readington Township Board of Education for their donation of the school bus
