The Franklin County Fire Department upgraded its tool kit by getting new Jaws of Life. The Jaws of Life is a tool used by firefighters to pry open cars when they are trying to rescue someone from an accident. The new Jaws of Life they received are battery powered and cordless unlike the previous gasoline powered ones. "It allows us to move away from our equipment and hit multiple cars on different sides without having to stretch hoses across people or around people," said Aaron Johnson who is a firefighter and EMT at Franklin County FD.
