In the middle of a Romeoville industrial park this week, it looked like a multi-car pileup. Glass littered the ground. Bumpers hanging off vehicles. Doors scattered across the pavement.
In the middle of the action was Romeoville firefighter-paramedic Brook Kehoe, trying to free someone trapped in a car. No one was actually inside. The whole rescue operation was merely a simulation - a chance to safely test out some heavy equipment needed when time is of the essence.
"For the car behind us, it's on all four wheels but as the class goes on, they'll have cars on their side, cars on the roof. They'll have cars on top of each other," said Romeoville Battalion Chief Brian Johnson, who serves as an academy instructor."They can work on anything from breaking glass to cutting batteries to peeling peak which is peeling the plastic back."But this crucial class is in jeopardy., based in Downers Grove.
