Swannanoa Fire Department joined local EMS providers and Pardee Sports Medicine on July 27, 2026, for a collaborative training focused on sports-related emergencies. The participating agencies provide emergency medical coverage for Owen High School Athletics, Owen Middle School, Asheville Christian Academy Football, and the Montreat Cavaliers.

The hands-on training focused on assessing, stabilizing, and safely mobilizing athletes with suspected sports injuries. It also allowed responders to train together, strengthen communication, and become more familiar with one another before the upcoming sports season.

Training together before game day helps ensure a coordinated response when every second counts.
