Today the West Point Fire Dept. went out and spent some time going over vehicle extraction. Personnel practiced their skills operating the spreaders and cutters removing doors from the vehicle so patients can be extracted from the vehicle safely. This is to prepare themselves for when they need to use these skills in a real life situation. We would like to extend a thank you to Prime Towing & Services LLC for providing these vehicles so we could do this training
