Reese Members Train on Ropes, Knots and Stokes Basket Operations |

| A beautiful summer evening made for a pretty great backdrop for our monthly company training last night! This month, members focused on ropes and knots, putting those skills to work with our Stokes basket and practicing how it can be safely used to move a patient over inclined and uneven terrain. Training nights are about much more than practicing a skill. They’re an opportunity for experienced members to share what they know, newer members to get hands-on experience, and our volunteers and Carroll County Fire & EMS personnel to train together as the team that will respond together when we're needed. And judging by a few of our pictures, we may have even had some of the next generation getting an early introduction. 😉🚒 Good weather. Good training. And a whole lot of learning across generations. Just another evening at Reese. ❤️ #ReeseVFC #TrainingNight #AlwaysTraining #FireAndEMS #StrongerTogether #CarrollCountyMD |
