An EMS drill for members to practice the hands-on application of boarding patients was held on Thursday night in the Ambulance Bay. Several board and collar applications were taught. These different methods included the KED, backboarding from a standing position, utilizing long straps on a backboard, and the short board method. We thank the volunteers that roleplayed our victims for their patience as the different practices and applications of each method were reviewed and demonstrated!
