Last night on drill night the Snyder fire & rescue department got together for a search and rescue training at an abandoned house donated by the Schiller family north of snyder, it was a great & much refreshing training for both sides. Training included the fireman going in blinded as if actual situation, finding and recovering the victim, exiting and getting pulses checked by the emts for safety of patient and first responders! Video shown for example is FF Lead Steven Renter/ second by Logan Kreikemeier finding/securing/ and exiting with the victim, followed by pulse checks from EMTS Jessica Eikmeier and Monica Smeal, photos also show all FF involved in the training along with the officers instructing the training, Pat Smeal and Mark Kreikemeier!
