Another Training Day in the Books

Several members gathered today for training on our new V-Struts. The V-Struts are used to stabilize vehicles in emergencies. Our crew also took time to practice extrication techniques for different scenarios so that we continue to be ready to serve our community. A big thanks to Christopher West at Cumberland Express for the donation of vehicles and space to train.
