Fire personnel participate in drill

Fire suppression personnel participated in an auto-extrication equipment familiarization drill last week. 

The drill was coordinated by Cpt. Bob Crouch and presented by Auto Extrication Spc. Randy Babbitt from FS3 Holmatro Rescue Equipment Company, which specializes in auto extrication equipment for the fire service. 

Fire personnel practiced new techniques with current Fire Department equipment and familiarized themselves with a variety of new types of extrication equipment.

The training focused on extrication of newer model vehicles and the concerns of working around an undeployed air-bag system.
