EXTRICATION DEMONSTRATION

As part of the fun of “Hillbilly Days” in Rodman last Saturday, volunteer firefighters from the Rodman Fire Department demonstrated the use of their new extrication equipment on an aging Ford Taurus. The Rodman Fire Department purchased the new equipment, as well as protective gear, thanks to a $37,065 grant from the Palo Alto County Gaming Development Corporation. Pictured (from left) are Nate Newhouse, PACGDC board member, and Troy Hall and Sean Leners with the Rodman Fire Department. More photos from the department’s annual fundraiser can be found on Pages 13 and 14 of today’s “Democrat.” – Lori Hall photo
