This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.
On Monday night, our team took part in a simulated elevator rescue. The scenario challenged firefighters to safely recover a worker who had fallen into an elevator shaft.
Exercises like these are essential. They allow us to rehearse high-risk, technical situations in a controlled setting, ensuring that when the call is real, we can respond with speed, precision, and safety.
Each training night strengthens our skills, builds our readiness, and reinforces our commitment to protecting the community.
