Recently members from Kentland participated in the Advanced Extrication Scenarios class at the Key City Fire Conference, which was taught by Tactical Resource Fire Training. Members performed many different complex stabilization and extrication scenarios covering passenger and heavy vehicles. With two crews also staffed at Kentland, #RescueEngine33 conducted a drill at the Brandywine Automotive Centers junkyard in Upper Marlboro. This gave our members some excellent hands on training to develop and refine the skills necessary to be proficient when operating on the Rescue Engine.
