Yesterday afternoon PJFD R7 responded to a house for structural damage from a motor vehicle accident that occurred over night.

The concrete foundation to the house was damaged resulting in little or no support of exterior load bearing walls.

Utilizing the Paratech struts, the crew from R7 assembled temporary shoring. At the request of the building inspector the struts are remaining in place until a more permanent solution can be made.

Our dedicated team trains often on these scenarios and we are proud to serve the Village of Port Jefferson with our technical rescue assets.

This afternoon, PJFD responded to a technical rescue operation for a patient sick on a sailboat in the boat yard.

Operating as a joint Technical Rescue Team, PJFD and Port Jefferson EMS carefully packaged the patient in a stokes basket, utilized the aerial ladder from L1 as a high point, and safely lowered the patient to the ground via a friction device.

We are proud of this continued collaboration with our EMS partners.

Recently, members of the Port Jefferson Fire Department participated in a motor vehicle fire live burn training at the Suffolk County Fire Academy. This hands-on training keeps our crews sharp, prepared, and ready to respond when it matters most. Live burn training such as this allows us to practice fire suppression tactics on vehicles of different sizes, which is critical for our members in a transportation hub such as Port Jefferson.
