  • Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders Motorcycle, for Scootermoped and Improving Safety Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders
    Improving SafetyImproving and forScooter Moped Motorcycle, Riders Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world’s large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020. This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

What are they? They are spring time grass and field fires. Harlem-Roscoe Fire is well equipped though to join the fight. A mini-pumper type grass rig is located at each of the three fire stations. And, Station’s 1 & 3 also each house a 4- wheel drive grass rig. March 30, all five grass rigs were put in to use on a field fire at Kieselberg Park on Swanson Road.

  • The Warehouse Point Fire District Responder
    Established 1910 Commission Chairman - Victor DeCapua Fire Chief - James Barton Fire Marshal - Christy Delvey 860-623-5596 The Warehouse Point Fire District Responder Vol. 2 No. 1 Warehouse Point Fire District Views New Squad 238 The long awaited replacement for Engine 238, assuring the District maintains its favorable ISO rating, will be commissioned into the fire department shortly. An engine inspection team from WPFD inspected the vehicle, prior to its shipping, to ensure that the apparatus had been built to specification and that nothing had been added or deleted from the original prints. A “wet down” (traditionally, when new equipment arrived, local and neighboring town firefighters ceremoniously pushed the vehicle into the fire station. Today with the size and weight of the fire engines, the apparatus is driven into its new home as firefighters place their hands on the bumper) will take place within the next few weeks. The fire commissioners of the District want to thank all who supported this endeavor. Firefighting News The Fire Department responded to 102 alarms from July 1 through September 30, this year. Of the 102 alarms, 30 were fire alarms; 25 motor vehicle accidents; 16 mutual aid calls; 9 outside burning; 6 smoke in building investigations; 5 vehicle fires; 5 medical aid calls; 5 assist public non-emergency; 4 hazard materials spills; 3 CO calls; 2 utility wires on ground; and 3 assist police. Most notable were the recovery of a drowning victim from the Connecticut River, which took nearly 3 hours. A young boy on a bicycle equipped with training wheels had to be extricated from this bike when his foot became stuck in the frame.
