Both classes were attended by firefighters from four fire departments, including Mount Vernon, Brodhead, Western Rockcastle, and even Boyle County. The first night was taught by Training Officer Brian Bullock and was on Rescuer Safety. This class was to teach the rescuer how to indentify hazards on accident scenes, such as the delayed deployment of air bags as well as how to approach and handle hybrid vehicles. The second night of the class was taught by Richie Wynn, a TNT Rescue Tools technician, of Wynn Fire Equipment in Corbin. This class was four hours and was completely hands-on using various types of rescue tools, but mainly the "Jaws of Life." The main topic was to teach the rescuer the most efficient and safe way to gain access to and remove a victim from a wrecked vehicle. This class was a success and would not have been possible without the donation of two vehicles by David's Tire Center and without the generosity of Wynn Fire Equipment.
