The New Market Volunteers sent six members and RE153 to Mid-Atlantic Technical Rescue's Heavy Truck Stabilization and Extrication program this past weekend. It was hosted by The Union Bridge and New Windsor Volunteer Fire Companies. Each group went through four unique and challenging scenarios involving four different types of trucks, as well as a few hours in the classroom. The members learned many methods and techniques for dealing with incidents involving these large and heavy vehicles. We were very grateful to have the opportunity to attend. The members attending were:
Firefighter III Matthew Thews Firefighter III Brady Thews Firefighter III Chad Hannaby Firefighter II Derek White Firefighter II Chris Kline Firefighter I Max Berger
