Earlier today, SWCRS trained alongside Springfield and Washington County Fire Department, Willisburg Fire & Rescue, and Mackville Fire & Rescue learning a variety of vehicle extrication and rescue techniques. It was hot yet very informative and hands-on day. Keeping our skills sharp as well as training with our neighboring departments ensures the highest quality of patient care. Everyone did great today!
