Although some areas of Tuscola County seem to have an unusually high number of crashes there are areas where crashes don't happen very often.

Because of that, the village of Akron hosted a training-demo opportunity Saturday to use TNT RESCUE Products. One of the products the firemen had the opportunity to practice extrication with was the jaws of life.

The Caro Fire Department and the Fairgrove Fire Department were among those that participated in the training session, and they were appreciative of the opportunity.

Others who helped with the event were Superior Rescue Equipment for also providing tools, and D and J Towing LLC for providing the vehicles that were used to practice extraction.
