ROCHESTER, Minn- Firefighters do a lot more than extinguish fires, protect property, and save lives. When a car crashed into a Rochester home on Thursday, taking care of the incident required some specialized training. Preparation is key though to dealing with those situations.
According to firefighter Chad Kuhlman, RFD is part of a statewide structural collapse team known as Minnesota Task Force One. The team consists of five different fire departments specializing in dealing with structural collapse, high-angle rope, and trench rescues. To help prepare them, RFD tries to make the training as realistic as possible.

(ABC 6 News) - Now that thousands of frontline healthcare workers have received their COVID-19 vaccination, first responders are starting their first round of the shot.. I feel fine. The flu shot actually probably hurt a little more than this did, said Austin firefighter Chris Grunewald, he was the first firefighter from the department to receive his vaccine Wednesday afternoon.
Mower County health and human services received 100 Modern vaccines on December 23, and the firefighters were able to sign up by appointment to get their vaccine.
Division Manager Pam Kellogg said the health services department pulled together quickly to make this possible, adding the importance of providing that extra protection to the men and women risking exposure every day.
