City looking for next generation of emergency responders
The city is looking for the next generation of emergency responders, and is willing to start training them now towards a potential future of helping others.
Starting in January, a new high school class in the Battlefords will give students practical training in emergency services.
The class, called Emergency Services Response Training, will be held primarily at the North Battleford Fire Hall, with certain classes being held at the RCMP detachment and EMS building.
Students will get to do hands-on training including rescue scenarios and a ride-along with Community Safety Officers, in addition to in-class work.
