A vehicle extrication demonstration will be a key part of the New Baltimore Fire Department’s open house, which is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the station on Green Street. The vehicle extrication demonstration will take place at noon.  

“We will use the Jaws of Life to cut a car apart,” New Baltimore Fire Chief Jeff Stellman said. “We will probably have four firefighters running that scenario.”

The event will also include other indoor and outdoor activities. A series of community-oriented activities are planned for the open house, including a lottery board, raffle and children’s activities. Hot dogs, chips and pop will be available for a donation.

Police say according to eyewitnesses, a 2013 Infiniti was heading north near the Atwells Avenue overpass when the driver apparently lost control, crossed all lanes of traffic, struck the concrete barrier and rolled over, leaving the car on its roof in the high-speed lane. The driver then ran off, according to police.

Moments later, troopers received a report of a car striking a Providence fire engine that had responded to the rollover crash. Police say the truck was parked in the northbound lanes of I-95 with its emergency lights activated when it was hit.  

Part of Engine 3's bumper got ripped off and it's now in the repair shop being assessed.
