Over the last two weekends Harlem Roscoe Fire hosted a Heavy Vehicle Rescue class with instruction from Auto X Extrication. Rockford and Inverness firefighters were some of the participants. The 40-hour program honed their skills in advanced stabilization, tractor-trailer familiarization, bus extrication, and complex rescues. They say, "We are fortunate to have a great working relationship with Maggios Truck Center, Erickson Auto Parts and to have the capability to host classes that expand the skill set of area responders."
