In support of local Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services crews, Gershow Recycling donated six vehicles to the Brookhaven Town Chiefs Council’s JOLT (Jaws of Life Tournament) competition that was held September 29 at Firemen’s Memorial Field in Ridge.
Forty-five teams from 28 fire departments on Long Island and one from Rhode Island were judged on the amount of time it took to perform the extrication, the handling of equipment and the safety procedures they followed. The teams expressed their gratitude for Gershow’s donation and unique opportunities for simulated emergency training.
In addition to the vehicles, Gershow donated a Dumpster for the event.
Gershow has eight locations in Brooklyn, New Hyde Park, Valley Stream, Freeport, Lindenhurst, Huntington Station, Bay Shore and Medford. For more information, call (631) 289-6188 or visit www.gershow.com.
