FD Holds Pool Drill

The New Hyde Park Fire Department recently held a pool rescue drill. After a classroom presentation at headquarters, lifeguards Elizabeth Duke, Nicole Caccamo and Alexa Brown from the Town of North Hempstead’s Clinton G. Martin pool shared their expertise with NHPFD firefighters and EMTs. They were able to practice rescue of an injured person from the water using proper techniques including transfer onto a backboard and safe removal from the water.
