Intensive training at Cook County Emergency Services Conference

The Cook County Emergency Services Conference took place Friday and Saturday, April 27-28. There were numerous emergency vehicles at the Cook County Community Center, at Cook County High School and at the Grand Marais Recreation Park on Friday and Saturday as training sessions were under way.
 
There was something for all divisions of emergency management at the conference, ranging from live-fire training and 3Echo active shooter exercises and rope team training to street smart incident command sessions and much more.
 
WTIP’s Rhonda Silence checked out some of the conference activities and spoke with the presenters of “safeTALK Suicide Alertness Training,” which was offered in several sessions over the weekend.
 
She also caught up with the Ropes Rescue team in action and the local fire departments responding to mock fires at the Grand Marais campground.
 
Here’s her report from the scene.
