Big weekend of training by attendees on equine rescue. Day 1 Kaycie and Roger of the MSPCA-Angell instructed students in the horse safety, packaging and movement. Day 2 had collaboration between the MSPCA, Reed Truck Services and members of the Professional Firefighters of Keene IAFF Local 3265 in expanding into rigging and lifting. This training provides a knowledge and skill set that will help ensure the proper care of animal companions in the event of an emergency. We look forward to a continued partnership to bring this training to the region regularly.

A tremendous turnout by dedicated members from the Tri-state region for our Basic Forcible Entry Training. We are grateful that you continue to allow us to provide a forum for training and fellowship.

Tonight was also special we unveiled our new force door from Firehouse Innovations LI, Inc. The door was donated to The Drill Yard by Bruce Crowell in memory of his father Robert Crowell who passed away recently. Bobby Crowell was a mentor to many of us in this area, and a tremendous advocate for firefighter training. I was only fitting that Bruce had the first shot at the door.
