Training in Action: Successful Simulated Aerial Rescues!

What an awesome day with two surprise simulated aerial rescues!  Our crews responded with professionalism and skill to realistic scenarios coordinated with the 911 Call Center, Belforest Volunteer Fire Department, and Medstar Ambulance Co. We even set up obstacles hoping for a climbing rescue in round two, but the team cleverly used a bucket truck for a faster response. Can’t wait to share the unbelievable video once it’s edited! Great job, team—training like this saves lives.

Early Morning Emergency: Live Oak Failure in Mobile

Our team responded to an emergency call at 1:00 AM this morning in Mobile, where a large live oak failed at the intersection of McDonald & Eslava due to bark inclusion. The crew quickly secured the site, and cleanup is underway with grappling equipment. Big thanks to the team for stepping up in the early hours to keep the streets safe!
