Six Palm Harbor Firefighters are on the
way to Wales to participate as the only U.S. team in the World
Extrication Competition.
Firefighter/Paramedic Rodney Malpass,
Firefighter/Paramedic Doug Zimmerman, Firefighter Rick Weschler,
Firefighter Mike Harvey, and Firefighter/Paramedic Bill Fisher will
represent not only Palm Harbor Fire Rescue, but the U.S. in the
upcoming competition.
Palm Harbor Fire Rescue received a letter
in April from the Chairman of the World Rescue Organization (WRO)
inviting Palm Harbor Fire Rescue to participate in the 2008 World
Rescue Extrication Challenge as the only team of more than 200
registered extrication teams in the U.S. The WRO is a worldwide
organization that promotes rescuer training, safety, and new tool
technology in addition to conducting extrication challenges all
around the world.
This year's event will be held July 9-12
in Cardiff, Wales UK, where 31 teams from 16 different countries
will determine the extrication champions.
