Fort Fairfield's Bravest teamed up with the Fort Frontier ATV Club Tuesday July 9th for a joint exercise simulating an ATV Crash. Multiple evolutions were conducted involving an array of different scenarios testing emergency responder’s skills.
Friendly Fort Fairfield is home to many miles of scenic ATV trails which are a popular attraction during the summer and fall months. Although there hasn’t been a major ATV Accident in recent years the Fort Fairfield Fire Department strives to be progressive and training plays an important part to being ready for any situation.
Chief Mike Jalbert said the exercise was a huge success and credited those who participated. Chief Jalbert also thanked Fort Fairfield Police Chief Bill Campbell for use of the Police Department’s Ranger unit.
