Tonight, members of the Eldon Fire Department and the Moreau Fire Protection District took advantage of the beautiful weather by coming together for a joint vehicle extrication training.
This type of training allows neighboring departments to work side by side, strengthening teamwork while learning different skills and becoming familiar with each other’s tools and techniques. These partnerships are especially important in the event of a large scale incident that requires multiple departments to respond together.
We also used this opportunity to give our newer volunteers valuable hands on experience, helping them learn what it takes to safely remove a patient from a vehicle using specialized equipment.
A big thank you goes out to Champion Towing for generously donating vehicles for us to train on and for going above and beyond by providing a meal for all of the volunteers. We truly appreciate the continued support from our community and are grateful for their partnership.
Working together through trainings like this helps build strong relationships between departments, ultimately improving our ability to respond effectively, save lives, and protect property.
Finally, thank you to all of our volunteers who took time out of their evening to participate and continue learning. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
