Keene, NH - Station 2 crews with the Professional Firefighters of Keene trained on lifting and jacking techniques, a critical component of technical rescue operations involving victims trapped beneath heavy objects.
Using specialized tools and hands-on scenarios, firefighters practiced safely lifting loads, delivering rapid medical care, and removing patients to safety.
Officials noted that regular training like this ensures readiness for high-risk emergencies and thanked EZ-Crete for donating materials used during the training.
