This past Tuesday, NRFD members returned to Griffin's Service Centre & 24 Hour Auto Rescue to build on our April extrication training.
Members worked through realistic extrication scenarios, putting previously learned skills to the test while continuing to strengthen techniques that help us operate safely and effectively on scene.
Thank you again to Chris Griffin for the continued support and for providing the space and resources to make this valuable training possible.

🌱 Maintain Landscaping 🌱
Keep lawns mowed and hydrated. Dry grass and shrubs are easily ignited by wildfires.

🔥 Home Ignition Zone 🔥
Keep a 5-foot zone around your home that is free of vegetation and mulch. Stone or gravel are better options.

Tuesday night, NRFD members completed extrication training at Griffin's Service Centre & 24 Hour Auto Rescue .

Regular refresher training like this keeps our skills sharp and leads to quick, effective extrications on real calls, getting patients out safely and into the hands of paramedics as soon as possible so they can receive the care they need.

A big thank you to Chris Griffin for providing the vehicles and space to train. Your support helps us better serve our community.
