Today and Waltham firefighters came together for joint vehicle extrication training.

Training alongside neighboring departments gives our firefighters an opportunity to work together, practice coordinated extrication techniques, and strengthen the skills needed when responding to serious motor vehicle crashes.

We appreciate the opportunity to train together and continue building strong working relationships between our departments.
