A dedicated group of 21 firefighters has successfully completed a rigorous certification course in vehicle extrication, spanning five nights and one day. This achievement is a significant milestone for the participants, who are now officially certified in this critical area of emergency response. Fire officials have highlighted the vital role played by the Lawrence County Commission in this accomplishment, noting that an increase in funding for local fire departments under the current budget has made a substantial difference.
With these additional resources, firefighters can now devote less time to relentless fundraising efforts, allowing them to focus more on training and enhancing their skills. This shift not only benefits the volunteers but also strengthens their ability to serve and protect the community effectively. The investment in training and resources underscores the commitment to ensuring that local fire departments are well-equipped to respond to emergencies with the highest level of preparedness.
