The Jaws of Life

We went up to Mom and Dad's for Sunday dinner and as we passed the Auberry Volunteer Fire Station, we saw that they were all VERY busy today! The Auberry fire fighters and a few from some other nearby stations were practicing with the Jaws of Life and the Spreaders. They had several old cars that had been donated and they were in various stages of being cut apart. There were a few CPR dummies in the cars and the firefighters were practicing cutting the doors and the tops of the cars off to get them out.

We only mention this because Kevin's dad, David, is one of those fire fighters. He has been on the Auberry Volunteer Fire Department for nearly five years now.

It was interesting to watch the fire fighters and to see what those machines are capable of. It is always comforting to know that when someone comes to cut you out of a car, they know what they are doing!
