OVFC firefighters, alongside instructors from across the region, worked with County Fire & EMS staff on a joint training exercise. OVFC provided Truck 23 each drill and taught COFEMS staff on stokes basket rescue off the ladder truck. Crews covered the equipment , setup operations, and communications for working on a Truck company. This drill was held on 3 different days and involved simulating a sky dive accident with multiple patients suffering from various traumatic injuries. The drill was held at Booster Park and was a great success. We appreciate the opportunity to participate and look forward to future opportunities with similar drills.
