A great training with our firemen and recue memberโ€™s! Working on a water rescue saving a patient in a duck blind and also doing a search and rescue for a patient out in the woods in a deer stand needing medical assistance.

With both duck and deer season here we wanted to refresh our skills to be prepared for any situation.
Special thank you to Lakes Country Emergency Education & Consulting, LLC.
