The Fergus Falls Fire Department had yet another busy night of training on Tuesday as its members honed their skills and prepared for emergency situations.
The training session began with a walk-through of The River Inn, a local establishment, before moving on to ice rescue drills in the nearby river.
The walk-through at The River Inn allowed the firefighters to familiarize themselves with the layout and potential hazards of the building.
This type of training is crucial in ensuring the safety of both the firefighters and the occupants of the building in case of an emergency.
By understanding the structure and potential obstacles, the fire department members can work efficiently and effectively in high-pressure situations.
