School Bus Extrication

On November 22, 2003, New Hackensack held a school bus extrication class with the help of Steve Kidd and John Czajkowski from The Carbusters (www.thecarbusters.com). The class was attended by 23 members of New Hackensack's Extrication Team.  A special thanks goes out to Steve and John for flying up from Orlando Florida to teach the class.  In addition, we would like to thank Gall's, Inc. for allowing us the opportunity to view their tractor trailer and discuss some important factors involving a piece of equipment that large.  Also, thank you to the Wappinger Central School District for bringing over a new bus for members to see some of the new features added.  Lastly, another special thanks to Brown's School of Driving.  If it wasn't for this fine establishment donating their old bus, New Hackensack would not have had the opportunity to have this fun and educational course.  Thanks to all of you!!
