Recently all Lakeside firefighters were able to participate in a valuable training exercise involving the latest techniques used to extricate patients from damaged vehicles.

The Lakeside Fire Protection District would like to thank Horn’s Auto (http://hornsauto.com/) for the donation of 6 vehicles to perform vehicle extrication training. Each division had 2 vehicles to practice different vehicle extrication techniques.

The firefighters were able to practice various vehicle extrication techniques in a systematic manner. During a vehicle accident it is extremely important to extricate and transport the patients to the trauma center within 1 hour.

This training allowed the veteran firefighters to review their skills and to pass their knowledge down to our newest firefighters in the department.
