LAKE ANDES FIREMEN RECEIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRAINING

Three Lake Andes Firefighters attended a one-day electric vehicle training class in Garretson on Friday, August 23. Fire Chief, Rod Bergin, Jeremiah Freidel and Jacob Wenzlaff attended training that focused on electric vehicle fires and accidents. The SD State Fire Marshal’s office had distributed the training flyer to fire departments throughout the state and when the Lake Andes Fire Department heard about it decided there was a growing need in the area for this type of training.
