Escondido’s Firefighters Participated in Hydraulic Tool Training

On April 4, 2024, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics from Station 1 participated in vehicle accident extrication (removal) training yesterday at Cardinal Auto Wrecking. Crews practiced scenarios to remove critical patients from serious vehicle accidents utilizing multiple extrication and stabilization tools. Cardinal Auto Wrecking facilitates invaluable training to our crews in providing real vehicles on site at their facility. This is critical training made possible by Cardinal’s continued generosity. Thank you, Cardinal.
