By: Gershow Recycling Fifteen teams are scheduled to take part in the three-day competition, which will take place each day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These include teams from Long Island, Canada, Sweden and other nations from around the globe. Each team will participate in three challenge pits: Limited Pit (where only hand and pneumatic tools are used), Unlimited Pit and Rapid Pit (in both pits, all rescue tools are available, including heavy hydraulic rescue equipment). Those who compete in the Limited and Unlimited Pit will have 20 minutes to extricate a “victim” from a “crash,” while Rapid Pit participants will only have 10 minutes to safely perform the extrication. All teams will be judged based on the command structure, hazard and scene control, patient and rescuer safety and techniques used to disentangle the patient. “Gershow Recycling is proud to donate the use of these vehicles to this international competition,” Gershow has nine locations in Brooklyn, New Hyde Park, Valley Stream, Freeport, Lindenhurst, Huntington Station, Bay Shore, Medford and Riverhead.
