Key Peninsula firefighters
train with extrication equipment during a
recent drill, perfecting techniques for
rescue of entrapment patients. The “accident
scene” involved vehicles on their sides, or
upside down, and in one case, an upside down
pickup piled atop a mangled sedan. In each
of the vehicles was at least one “entrapped
patient.” All patients were successfully
“rescued.”

Moles and gophers are a problem on the KP,
but this mess can be pinned on the energetic
Civic Center work (make that demolition)
crew. According to Phil Bauer, tireless
renovator, and “can-do” guy Ben Thompson,
all that dryrot had to go, making way for a
new entry and sign.
