Auto extrication training available for volunteer fire departments through new program
Volunteer fire departments in Saskatchewan that don’t have access to auto extrication training and equipment will now be able to get it.
The Transportation Rescue Extrication Program, also known as TREX, will ensure firefighters have the skills and tools needed in the event of a collision.
The program is a partnership between the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency and SGI, which provided one-time funding of $5.6 million.
Wayne Rodger, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s fire marshal, said there’s an uptick in volunteer fire departments interested in the program.
