Western Wayne County Search and Rescue Uses Unique Simulation to Train Rescuers

VIDEO/PHOTOS: If you noticed a car dangling from a parking structure in Wayne on Tuesday, don’t be alarmed. It was a simulation to prepare firefighters if the scenario was real. For firefighters, each emergency they’re called out on can look a little bit different, which makes their training crucial. “You train to the highest level you can because when something bad happens, you fall to your highest level of preparation,” said Jason Reeves, a rescue team manager with Western Wayne County Urban Search and Rescue. This may be especially true for Western Wayne County Urban Search and Rescue, a team of first responders from several fire departments in the area that respond to incidents that most engine companies cannot.
