On May 26th our department participated in Advanced Auto Extrication Training, enhancing our skills and preparedness for complex vehicle rescue incidents.

A huge thank you to Bartels Truck Line for providing a semi and trailer, Afterburner Auto Body for supplying vehicles for training, and Al Abbinga with Alex Air Apparatus for taking the time to share his extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise with our members.

We greatly appreciate the support from our community partners who help make valuable training opportunities like this possible. Continuous training ensures we are ready to serve when our community needs us most.
