Earlier this evening, MAVAC members participated in a joint training exercise with the Marathon Fire Department - New York to practice various rescue and extrication techniques with a simulated patient trapped beneath a bull dozer. These training evolutions help our fire and EMS providers prepare to work effectively in all types of emergency situations. 🚒 🚑 (fb)
