Your first responders are deep into training during extrication week—honing their rescue skills and preparing for the toughest calls. Crews are practicing a variety of vehicle extrication techniques and patient care strategies, working on everything from old clunkers to cutting-edge EVs made with aluminum, high-strength steel, carbon fiber, and composites that change how we reach a trapped patient.This Saturday, they’ll put it all to the test with live scenarios—including overturned vehicles and cars on their sides. And yes, we train rain or shine, because emergencies don’t take a day off when the weather gets rough.Also, our greatest appreciation goes to Black's Towing and Red Bank Auto Parts for helping us with vehicles.
