Lancaster County, PA - Crews from Rheems Fire Company and East Petersburg Fire Company work with Hershey Med Students to teach them about auto extrication. The companies recently worked with 17 med students to teach them the basics of auto extrication and why at times crews may report
to them that the extrication may be extended. After teaching the med students the basic concepts of auto extrication, the med students were given a scenario and had 30 minutes to complete certain tasks. - MADELYN ROHRER
