**THIS WAS A TRAINING** On Thursday (January 24th) Rescue 36 traveled out to the Chester County Public Safety Training Campus to participate in a rescue demo. In conjunction with Octorara’s Homeland Security and Protective Services Academy, Twin Valley Fire Department and Student film makers from Octorara High School; the group conducted filming of a vehicle rescue in order to produce a PSA on distracted driving. The students are making this film to raise awareness of the issue that has plagued this country, along with entering the video into a national competition that, if they win, would be nationally broadcasted. Crews took this opportunity to train and familiarize themselves with vehicle rescue techniques and tactics.
