On the evening of December 19th the Cadets traveled to Baltimore towing to participate in hands on vehicle extrication training. Cadets were allowed to use extrication tools such as spreaders, cutters and rams to perform various rescue techniques. The cadets got to remove doors, remove a roof and perform a dash roll. Special thanks to Kingsville Volunteer Fire Company for lending us some additional hydraulic tools.

The WMVFC Cadet have been busy over the past few weeks. Adding to our previous search drills we incorporated the use of the smoke machine and victims to simulate and search and rescue scenario.

The Cadets have also competed their physical fitness assessment which includes a 1.5 mile run, 1 minute of sit ups, 1 minute of push ups and 1 minute of planks. Each Cadet then also go to learn about the equipment in the station gym.

Last night the Cadets learned about the importance of a proper hydrant hookup and the use of the Heavy Water Hookup and how to hook it up.
