ATTLEBORO – This week, Attleboro Fire Department hosted a three-day IPMBA (International Police Mountain Bike Association) training course. AFD members were joined by firefighters and police officers from surrounding communities to complete the intensive program.
During large-scale events such as fireworks displays or parades, when vehicle access is limited, bike medics play a vital role. They can quickly navigate crowded areas and begin treatment sooner, improving response times and patient outcomes.
A special congratulations to Lieutenant Beau Jacques for winning the obstacle course race, showing his dedication with a leaping finish. Well done, Lt. Jacques!
