The Woodbury Fire Department conducted a full-scale training drill, simulating a serious crash involving a bus flipped over onto a car. The scene appeared realistic, with the bus on its side over the car. Firefighters worked together to safely rescue everyone from the wreck, using tools to cut through metal and extract passengers safely. The goal of the training was to prepare first responders for real emergencies, particularly complex ones such as potentially life-threatening crashes.
