Sunday, March 2, 2014

On Feb 28th, March 1st and 2nd, 5 Laurel firefighters along, with others from Blades and Eldorado-Brookview Fire Departments participated in Farm Rescue Training. This class was sponsored by the University of Delaware in conjunction with Penn State. Firefighters learned how to handle farm emergencies as well as some basic knowledge of farm equipment. Over the 3 days of the course firefighters had hands on training, and live exercises on the last day. Rescue teams from the 3 Departments worked to disentangle, extricate, and free trapped simulated victims. Great training was provided by the instructors and everyone learned a lot.
