On Tuesday evening, October 19th, firefighters trained using Holmatro tools during a mock vehicle rescue. Training is crucial for each firefighter to ensure they’re up-to-date on the most recent tools and thus prepared and confident when responding to calls in the community. We appreciate the time we get each week to hone our skills!
