Sewerage Authority Donates $10,000 in Equipment

Confined Space Rescues ALL SUITED UP... Rahway fireman Jamal Thorpe is suited up and ready to

work a confined space rescue.

SCOTCH PLAINS—TheRahway Valley Sewerage Authority, which serves Westfield, Scotch Plains, FanwoodandMountainside,recently donated confinedspacerescueequip mentvaluedat $10,000totheRahway Fire Department.

Confined space rescue equipment is used in an area not meant for prolonged human occupancy and whichdoes nothavenormalentrances and exits.

Marcia C. Sartor of Marcrisart Media, Inc. of Scotch Plains, which handles marketing and public rela tionsfor theAuthority,saidsurround ing towns can use Rahway’s equip ment or have its emergency team respond to calls for assistance.

The equipment donated to the Rahway department includes: climb ing rope, an Air Source Cart, which follows two firefighters to go 300 feet into a confined area; three Class D Harnesses and three selfcontained breathing apparatuses.

The equipment, which can be put on in less than one minute and fully

equips three firefighters neously, will be used in rescues in wastewater tanks, manholes and un derground tunnels.

“Many people do not realize that they are at risk until an emergency arises. We want to encourage facili ties that might be at risk to notify the Rahway Fire Department of their situation,” Ms. Sartor stated in a let ter to The Westfield Leader and The Times of Scotch PlainsFanwood.

Noting the fact the Rahway Fire Department has a fullytrained and equipped emergency team, the Authority’s Vice Chairwoman Joan Papen of Scotch Plains responded, “Not only can the Authority rest as sured in the event of an emergency, but the surrounding communities can do so as well.”

The Authority is an autonomous wastewater treatment agency serv ing more than 300,000 residential and 3,500 industrial and commercial customers in 13 communities.
