In a second vehicle extrication they literally cut a car in half AND removed the roof - Amusing when they could have removed the unfortunate driver through the passenger door without using a single tool.
In their third heavy rescue, they shored up a collapsing structure and used chain saws to cut away a fallen tree. The structure? Some guy's lawn tractor shed.
But I now sleep more soundly knowing that our homeland security tax dollars are protecting me in the event that terrorists target "Cornhole Corners", PA.
