In our special episode, we had the honor of hosting Caleb Collins from the Morristown Rescue Squad. He shared incredible insights on the crucial work being done by first responders and their continuous training efforts at Morristown and Metal.

Here are three key takeaways from the episode:

• Hands-on Training is Essential: Caleb highlighted the importance of hands-on training exercises, specifically the use of various extrication techniques. This practice ensures first responders are faster and safer when it comes to rescuing people involved in severe accidents.

• Recruitment Challenges and Opportunities: Recruiting new members to join rescue squads is a significant challenge. Caleb emphasized that becoming a member requires dedication, but it's incredibly rewarding. For those interested, reaching out to local squads for application opportunities is highly encouraged.

• Preparedness Through Continuous Learning: The episode underscores the value of continuous learning and preparedness. Caleb mentioned that experiences, even the challenging ones like the Newport deployment, serve as learning opportunities to improve and be better prepared for future emergencies.
