Members ran a scenario simulating a vehicle that had crashed into a building, with multiple occupants pinned and in need of extrication. Before any rescue could begin, crews had to stabilize the structure and gain safe access to working on the vehicle.

We’re grateful to the members of our community who continue to make these structures available to us. Many of them are slated for demolition, and the real-world, hands-on experience our members gain in training scenarios with them is truly invaluable. This kind of training simply can’t be replicated, and it translates to better service and safety.
