Menands, NY - Members of the Menands Fire Department recently participated in hands-on training focused on vehicle extrication and stabilization techniques.
Given the department’s proximity to I-787 and other heavily traveled roadways, crews regularly respond to motor vehicle accidents, making this type of training essential. Firefighters practiced methods to safely stabilize vehicles and efficiently remove patients during emergency situations.
The training reflects the department’s ongoing commitment to maintaining readiness and ensuring the safety of the community through continued skill development.
