The training brought together EMS professionals from across New England to develop and refine critical response skills for complex, low-frequency but high-risk emergencies.

The department highlighted the value of regional partnerships, noting the presence of personnel from agencies such as Williston Fire Department and Richmond Rescue. Additional instruction and support were provided by Precision Training, reinforcing the importance of continued education and interagency collaboration in maintaining high standards of emergency response.
