The F.R.E.E. Program seeks to educate first responders on how to best handle accidents taking place with newer, technologically advanced vehicles, including hybrid and electric cars.
This Veterans Day, more than 60 first responders from the Lancaster Fire Department and surrounding areas gathered at Faulkner Collision Center to receive training in some of the latest techniques in emergency vehicle extrication.
