Throughout August, our department worked on sharpening their vehicle extrication skills through a series of hands-on training sessions. Crews practiced vehicle stabilization, lifting, and cribbing operations, preparing for challenging incidents where a victim may be pinned beneath a vehicle.
Last week's training brought it all together as members put their skills to the test during full-speed extrication scenarios, emphasizing teamwork, communication, and problem-solving under realistic conditions.
A huge THANK YOU to HRS Towing for providing the vehicles that made this hands-on training possible. Access to real vehicles allows our crews to train with the tools, techniques, and challenges they may encounter on an actual emergency scene.
