Tonight for training, we trained on the usage and stability of the Inflatable Bridge!
This will help us if we have an incident where someone is in the water or marshy area and we cannot reach them! We launched the Inflatable Bridge at the Old Spanish Trail boat launch and paddled to a fake patient! 🚤 🚒👨‍🚒
