Pella’s first responders received life-saving training this weekend.
Members of Pella Community Ambulance and the Pella Fire Department sharpened their skills in extrication scenarios at Doug’s Four Wheelers all-day Saturday. Paramedic Dan Turner says this training is important because they never know when a person will be trapped in a vehicle. He says having multiple EMTs and firefighters with firsthand knowledge of how to use the jaws of life equipment is essential to ensure they can rescue someone in need. The Knoxville Rural Fire Department completed similar training this past Tuesday.
