Seems our social media lady decided to hoard pictures of our members doing great things and not share any…corrective action has been taken.
Last week, Lieutenant DeLaurie and Engineer McConnell travelled to Ohio to take part in their hands-on Crash Course Heavy training. This extrication course focused exclusively on advanced stabilization, heavy lifting, rigging, load control, and extrication techniques for massive or commercial vehicles.
Given that our district is the intersection of numerous large highways, we see our fair share of accidents involving these vehicles and it’s extremely important we are ready to serve our community when the time comes.
Additionally, (though NOT pictured because he’s allergic to cameras “allegedly”) Engineer McGourty traveled to Houston to take part in a large HazMat Conference known as Hot Zone. McGourty is one of our three HazMat technicians for our department and his knowledge and practice are crucial to keeping our small town safe in the event of a hazardous materials incident.
Always proud of our members for going out and bringing knowledge and training to our area we would not otherwise have access to!
