Busy weekend training for our department and surrounding departments.
Friday and Saturday we hosted Professional Rescue Innovations Big Rig Rescue class, thanks to Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau funding.
Training started off Friday night with a classroom session followed by hands-on scenario training Saturday. Classroom session gave insight to tractor-trailers and proper use of rescue equipment. Saturdays hands-on scenarios allowed departments to train with their equipment to perform techniques on possible scenarios we may respond to.
We owe big a thank you to the following
Mitchell County Fair - use of their live stock building
City of Osage - equipment usage
Chatfield Towing - equipment usage
Osage Towing and Repair - cars
Red Can Sanitation - cars
Osage Co-Op Elevator - tractor-trailer
Popps Excavation - props
