Members of the Jessamine County Technical Rescue Team conducted a demonstration for the students and guests of the Asbury Equine Program. Wilmore Mayor Harold Rainwater, also the head of the Equine program at Asbury, invited team members to a chili supper and demonstration of the JCFD Large Animal Rescue capabilities. More than 50 people observed the Team demonstrate the Large Animal Glide and A-frame for moving and lifting large animals out of dangerous situations. To be certified as a Large Animal Rescue Technician requires completion of a 24 hour, hands on course. Plans are in the works for a class to be offered late spring of 2013.
