Jaws of Life free driver

Firefighters exercised the Jaws of Life late Thursday afternoon when they were called to the scene of a motor vehicle rollover at the intersection of Big Eddy Road and Celgar. “Firefighters had to stabilize the pick up truck that was on its side and then used the Jaws of Life to remove the patient,” said Chief Rob Girard. First Responders then assisted BCAS paramedics with the patient who was transported to Queen Victoria Hospital.  Photo courtesy of Revelstoke Fire Rescue Service
