Otisco Fire was fortunate to attend a chairlift rescue demonstration hosted by Song Mountain Ski Patrol.

Members from Otisco, along with Preble and Tully, were able to see firsthand how chairlift evacuations are conducted and learn where first responders can be utilized during these types of incidents.

We appreciate Song Mountain Ski Patrol for hosting the demonstration and providing valuable training and insight into chairlift rescue operations. This type of hands-on training helps our members better understand what to expect and how we can work together during an emergency
