Santa Clara County Fire Department

Joint Fire Academy 2021-1 finished up week 13 with auto extrication training - knowing how to manipulate vehicles to remove trapped victims is a key component in their rescue skills. @sccfirefighters #JFA #sccfdrecruits #sccfdtraining #repost @sunnyvaledps Joint Fire Academy 2021-1 recruits ended week 13 with Auto Extrication training at @picknpullusedautoparts. Removal of auto accident victims is a critical function of fire departments, we’re making sure this crew is well... trained before they begin their careers as firefighters. Another week down, another week closer to their goal. Shout out to the entire staff at Pick-n-Pull San Jose for their generosity and hospitality! #firefighters #training #keepgrinding
