On Saturday, students of Bethel High School's "Emergency Medical Technician" class participated in a vehicle extrication training exercise with members of the Bethel Volunteer Fire Department.  

Students spent part of the day in the classroom learning the basic concepts and fundamentals, and later got to experience the practical application of the various tools used, while also learning first hand the perspective of the trapped "victim" when all these procedures are taking place around them. 

At the same time, Bethel Firefighter's were evaluating the newest in cordless extrication tools on loan from a local fire equipment dealer.
