Current firefighters from across the Midwest got hands-on training in extrication this weekend. The two-day training was hosted by Jefferson Fire & Safety in Middleton. It included eight skilled instructors and several real-world scenarios that taught students how to properly use Holmatro Rescue Tools, which help free people from cars following accidents. Students also learned how to use a fire blanket to put out an electric car fire. Tyler Jefferson, Preside of Jefferson Fire and Safety, said this is one of the most environmentally safe ways to put out an electric vehicle fire.
