Last nights training consisted of pump operations. Engine 1 was the supply engine drafting from a porta tank. A 4” line was run from engine 1 to supply engine 2, which was then used to flow water back to the porta tank.

At approximately 07:07AM on Monday March 09, 2026 Bridgewater Fire, Bridgewater Fast Squad, and Woodstock ambulance was dispatched to 6873 US Route 4 for a vehicle that had gone off the road and rolled into the Ottaquechee river. Initial reports were that the occupant was out of the vehicle but still in the water. Bridgewater Fire requested Woodstock Fire to respond with their cold water equipment.
First arriving units found that the sole occupant of the vehicle had self extricated from their vehicle and made it out of the water and were in a passer by vehicle getting warm.

Woodstock Ambulance and Bridgewater Fast Squad evaluated the driver who refused transport. Bridgewater Fire was assisted by Killington Fire for their ladder to gain access to the vehicle. The vehicle was recovered by Sabil and Sons Towing.

Thank you to all involved and also Bridgewater highway who sanded the roadway prior to AOT arrival as this area of Route 4 was black ice.
