This week's Monday Night Drill was a "Ladders" drill for our Firefighters and a "Pharmacology, Med. Admin., Emergency Meds, Immunology, Toxicology, Endocrine & Neurology CME" drill for our EMTs.

The "Ladders" drill had our Vista Firefighters practice proper ladder placement techniques, how to handle Firefighting roof operations and how to properly carry tools & equipment while operating on a ladder. It's crucial for Vista Firefighters to practice ladder operations as it's an important task on the Emergency scene. Ladder operations are essential when it comes to venting a structure or giving Firefighters a way to exit a building should they need to if situations worsen.

The "Pharmacology, Med. Admin., Emergency Meds, Immunology, Toxicology, Endocrine & Neurology CME" drill had our Vista EMS personnel visiting Pound Ridge VAC to continue their medical education. Vista EMS personnel reviewed pharmacology, med. admin., emergency meds, immunology, toxicology, endocrine & neurology for this month's CME training topic. Our Department appreciates the opportunity to train with neighboring agencies and as always, extend our thanks to Pound Ridge VAC for hosting this past Monday's CME lecture.
