C Shift had a great day of training on Sunday. We worked with Heartland K9 Search Teams - Pup Assist to support their K9 search teams as they looked for 3 “missing” persons in the Boot Lake Park area. All three teams located their missing person. We hope we never have to search for missing persons, but if we do, we want to utilize every resource available to rapidly locate and help that person. These K9 teams are a key part of that plan with 2 of them living in our immediate service area. A huge thanks to the volunteer “missing persons” for your time! They walk a mile or more and sit patiently waiting for the teams to locate them. Their support helps make this training possible.

Today, your A-Shift crew capitalized on the favorable weather to collaborate with Osolo Fire in a search and rescue training exercise. These skills are essential to our success on the fire ground. Training is an ongoing process, and our members are fully committed to serving you to the best of their abilities.
