Last night, members took part in monthly training focused on lifting (air) bags and box cribbing—critical skills used in rescue scenarios.

From stabilizing vehicles to safely lifting heavy objects, these techniques are essential to protecting both victims and responders during complex incidents. Training like this ensures our team stays sharp, prepared, and ready to respond when our community needs us most.

A strong foundation in the basics makes all the difference when seconds count. Great work by everyone who participated!
