6 Friday, September 8, 2017 brooklintowncrier.com Whitby Fire Services Get Important Donation Whitby Fire and Emergency Services (WFES) received a donation of more than $22,000 from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada. The funds received will support the purchase of new life-saving equipment and training needed by Whitby firefighters to conduct specialized low angle rope rescues. Low angle rope rescues are those done on slopes up to 35 degrees, as can be experienced when responding to a car that has gone off road and down a hill. In these scenarios, the rescuer's weight is primarily supported by the ground, and a rope is used for balance or to assist in moving a patient to safety. The funds provided will enable WFES to better respond to low angle rescues within Whitby, including those occurring on bluffs, ravines and rough terrain.
