Andover, MA - The Andover Fire Rescue conducted UTV training at Pole Hill Reservation, with firefighters from Unit 1 utilizing the wooded terrain to strengthen operational readiness.
Crews practiced operating the UTV across remote trails while focusing on patient access, packaging, and removal from difficult-to-reach areas. The training emphasized efficient movement in off-road environments and coordination during rescue scenarios.
All department units are scheduled to complete similar training sessions with the Training Division, reinforcing preparedness for emergencies in remote and wooded locations.
