On April 18 & 19, 2026 eight (8) members from the Goshen First Aid Crew, Inc participated in a Virginia Association of First Responders school bus extrication class. Members learned about the anatomy of the busses used and learned how to properly extricate passengers involved in these accidents. Dylan Jack, Jerry, Jo Ann Walus, Linda, Barry, Kaleb, Benjamin & Noah Arnold participated and are now certified in school bus extrication. The department now has members certified in Vehicle, Bus & farm extrication along with three (3) rope technicians. These classes are free to us since being members of the VAFR.
