In the spirit of March Madness firefighters trained on air management during this month's training. Similar to a structure fire or a situation where we need to pack up, shooting hoops raises firefighters heart rates, teaching them how to conserve the air they carry. The better firefighters can conserve air, the longer and more efficient they can work at a scene. Special thanks to Ravenna EMS for checking our vitals during training, and to Deputy Stalder for stopping by Buffalo County Sheriff's Office.
