WOODLAND HILLS - Firefighters from Tarzana's Fire Station 93 performed an Auto Extrication demonstration at a CERT Disaster Preparedness Fair. While the spectators enjoyed the show, this is always valuable practice to keep our skills sharp so there's no hesitation when we roll up on a severe traffic collision and find someone trapped. We are thankful for the generous donation of old vehicles to practice on. Visit CERT-LA.com for more information on our Community Emergency Response Team.
