Firefighters from Crescent Valley, Beowawe and the Eureka County Sheriff’s Office recently participated in an intensive vehicle extrication training, honing their skills with newly acquired eDraulic equipment. The two-day training, held on Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26, in Crescent Valley, aimed to bolster the region’s emergency response capabilities.
The Crescent Valley Fire Department responded to multiple calls over the last two weeks.
A total of eight firefighters from Crescent Valley Fire, three from Beowawe Fire, and one from the Eureka County Sheriff’s Office attended the crucial training. The hands-on sessions focused on the effective and safe use of the department’s new eDraulic extrication tools. These cutting-edge tools, known for their battery-powered hydraulic capabilities, were obtained last year through a LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Committee) grant, a vital funding source for emergency preparedness and response.
The training was led by Jason Solak from LN Curtis, the company from which the eDraulic equipment was also procured. Solak provided expert instruction, ensuring that participants gained comprehensive knowledge and practical experience with the advanced tools.
