A couple of weeks ago the Rolla Regional Fire Academy completed their Auto Extrication State Evaluations. At the completion of the evaluation process Chief Breen had the honor of presenting a special challenge coin to Wanda Crain, owner and operator of C&C Towing for providing vehicles and a location for this event. Wanda has been providing vehicles and training support for many years helping hundreds of firefighters gain valuable life saving skills in vehicle extrication.

In 2024 the City of Rolla Fire & Rescue developed the Rolla Regional Fire Academy. Last Saturday was the “Live Fire Evolution Evaluation” for the class of 2026. All of our students did a fantastic job! I would like to express my gratitude for all of our Instructors, State Evaluators, and area sending fire departments for trusting us with their most valuable resources…their dedicated Firefighters.
