Over the past couple of days, you may have noticed a few unusually parked vehicles in the lot at Station 31 off Kitchen Road. Don’t worry, they were supposed to be there.
All three shifts have been completing vehicle extrication training, working through several realistic scenarios that firefighters could face on an emergency scene. Training like this allows our crews to build on the basics, sharpen their skills, and stay prepared for those moments when every second matters.
Vehicle crashes can be complex, and each one presents its own challenges. Having the opportunity to train with real vehicles gives our crews valuable hands-on experience in stabilizing vehicles, operating extrication tools, and safely removing patients from dangerous situations.
A huge thank you to Mooresville Towing for donating the vehicles, delivering the cars to our firehouse, and hauling them away. Partnerships like this help make realistic training possible, and we truly appreciate their support.
