 <![CDATA[Somerset Fire &amp;amp; Rescue Co. No. 1 participated with the other Fire District No. 1 and Franklin Township Emergency Services&nbsp;in the "Every 15 Minutes" program held at the Franklin Township High School.&nbsp; This important national program describes in graphic detail the horrors of motor vehicle accidents caused by driving under the influence and inattentive driving.&nbsp; The live program re-enacted a multi-car accident involving members of the student body.&nbsp; A "Scared Straight" effect&nbsp;simulated serious injuries and fatalities that can occur when teens&nbsp;text or drive while under the influence.&nbsp;&nbsp;The focus on the emotional impact on&nbsp;the family and friends of the injured and deceased also drove home&nbsp;the&nbsp;dangers&nbsp;of this behavior.
A big congratulations to Elizabeth Avenue Fire Company's Deputy Chief Dan Fredericks and Paramedic Denyel Cusimano (mother of new Somerset firefighter Will Cusimano) for co-ordinating this important event.Click the green story banner for pictures.

 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[On Tuesday, January 10, 2012&nbsp;Fire District No.1 companies were dispatched to Rt. 287 South at exit 12 for a motor vehicle crash with entrapment.&nbsp; Car 26 (Chief Lipman) arrived on the scene of a single car MVC with the driver heavily entrapped.&nbsp; The crew from Rescue 56 arrived and started the extrication of the driver.&nbsp; Due to the heavy front end damage, numerous maneuvers were required to disentangle the driver.&nbsp; Once access was gained to the patient by removing the doors and lifting the dashboard assembly, it was determined that both of the driver's feet were heavily entrapped in two different locations by the floorboards.&nbsp; With some precise cutting and spreading the driver's feet were freed and the patient was transported to the hospital by East Millstone FAS and RWJ Paramedics.&nbsp; Car 26-B (Deputy Chief Fredericks)&nbsp;Car 44-B (Assistant Chief Cuddy) and Engine 26-3 were on the scene providing fire suppression and medical care.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Great work by all responders on this&nbsp;challenging &amp;quot;Pin Job&amp;quot;
