The Gravette Fire Department is welcoming a new member to the team - a member who doesn't even have a pulse.
Rescue Randy is their new lifesize, full-weight training mannequin.
He will be used for training and preparing firefighters for trauma situations.
Randy will be used to practice safely removing someone from a collapsed building or smoke-filled house, cutting someone out of a car, patient handling, and much more.
The life-like training mannequin was purchased thanks to the Arkansas Department of Health trauma grant. They awarded the Gravette Fire Department money to buy him.
Before the grant, the fire department had been using a homemade mannequin made out of old fire hoses.
Rescue Randy is the first official training tool of its kind at the station.
