​HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORM IRENE

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.5″ hover_enabled=”0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff”]​During Hurricane / Tropical Storm Irene THAC stood ready to answer any calls for service. From 7pm Saturday night til 7pm Sunday night crews were moved from their headquarters to each of the Fire Departments in the community(One in Highland Falls FD, One in Fort Montgomery FD). Each “substation” was staffed with 1 ambulance with a full crew and a few extra crew members to serve at each of the shelters that were setup to house community members that were displaced due to the storm. During the storm THAC responded to a “Swift Water Rescue” along side the Highland Falls Fire Department to assist in removing occupants of Weyant Green Apartments from danger and shuttling them to one of the shelters. THAC recieved one call for service for a motorist who was stranded inside and on top of their vehicle in about 4 or 5 feet of moving water. EMT Jason Stroppel from THAC and Assistant Chief Cleve Lent from FMFD quickly made an assessment to charge into the water with a throw bouy and rescue the man, who also happened to be having chest pain. Both EMT Stroppel and Assistant Chief Lent recieved commendations for their actions. Below are several pictures from during the storm.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.5″ column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ custom_padding=”2px|||||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.4.5″ type=”1_3″][et_pb_image src=”http://www.thvac.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/thac-hurricane-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.5″ title_text=”thac-hurricane-1″ align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.4.5″ type=”1_3″][et_pb_image src=”http://www.thvac.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/thac-hurricane-2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.5″ title_text=”thac-hurricane-2″ align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.4.5″ type=”1_3″][et_pb_image src=”http://www.thvac.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/thac-hurricane-3.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.5″ title_text=”thac-hurricane-3″ align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
