At the beginning of the year, LFD was granted a set of vehicle extraction equipment through the Alberta Fire Aid Society, and this weekend we were able to get our firemen trained/certified on them!
We would like to thank Baillie Boys Towing 306-782-2100, DigDug Excavation and Construction LTD, and Pattison Liquid Systems on supplying us with vehicles & forklift to practice on/move around! Without their help this training weekend wouldn’t have been possible!
Additional thanks go to Saskatchewan Volunteer Fire Fighter's Association & Devon Sawka on bringing the course in-house, which allows many more firemen to fit courses into their busy schedule. Devon was an excellent trainer and we couldn’t thank him enough for his support!
Last we would like to thank Balcarres & Rural Fire Department for loaning us some extraction equipment to practice with and let us get some hands on experience on what we are looking for when buying our own equipment!
We hosted 15 firefighters (12 Lemberg & 3 Abernethy) and were able to do muiltple scenarios on what we may come across on highway accidents! Thanks to all who attended and hope we can do more local training again!
