Vehicle extrication is one of the many skills our members train in, learning how to safely access and assist someone trapped after a serious crash.

That kind of response takes practice, teamwork, and preparation long before the call ever comes in.

On the night of October 10th, 1970 the East Rockaway Fire Department was alerted for a Car Fire. While Engine 406 was responding Captain Robert Pryer, who was riding on the back step as normal practice back in those days, sustained fatal injuries and died in the Line of Duty.

56 years later, we still remember and honor the ultimate sacrifice of Captain Robert Pryer and the continuing sacrifice of his Family.
