Photos of drills, calls, events. Just a little insight of what we do at Best-Luther!

On March 14, Best-Luther ran a multitude of calls from 6am Tuesday morning to 11am Wednesday afternoon. We thank all our members who were able to free themselves from their driveways and continue to run calls for over 24 hours.

During the frigid temperatures, Best-Luther was out on Tree Down on Wires.

Tonight we practiced precision with our extrication tools by picking up eggs with them and moving them between two cones. It was very exciting and competitive.
