All hands on deck to help out injured 'patient' at Albury skate park

About 45 firefighters, paramedics, and volunteers from the SES and Albury and Border Rescue Squad were involved in Tuesday night's training, which involved a scenario in which an injured person needed to be rescued and treated for upper body injuries.

The aim was to bring the emergency groups together to gain an understanding of how each operates.

Albury Civic firefighter Simon Ward said the emergency agencies were keen to conduct more joint training operations.

"It was about getting the four agencies together and working together," he said.
