Tonight, your Highland volunteers worked on hose line advancement and primary searches. 186 members, after a long wait, placed our brand new MSA SCBA's into service. This was a great opportunity to brush up on some old skills, and get familiarized with our new equipment. ![]()

Tonight our members started to recertify in CPR/AED for training. This was the first of two trainings necessary for recertification, and an additional lesson in how to use Narcan. We recently started carrying Narcan in all of our apparatus.
