Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services just wrapped up two days of intensive, hands-on rescue training. This specialized session focused entirely on the unique challenges of responding to school bus accidents.
Over the two-day session, Randy Schmitz of JRS Safety Services Ltd. led Fire & Emergency Services members through scenario-based training, focusing on the different construction and access challenges school buses can present during an emergency response.
The training was made possible thanks to School District No. 5 and School District No. 6, which each donated a retired school bus to support this exercise.

The buses had reached the end of their service life, creating a valuable opportunity for firefighters to practice important rescue techniques in realistic conditions.
Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services thanks Public Works, School District No. 5, School District No. 6, Van Horne Towing, and Farbrook Auto Wrecking for helping to make this training possible.
