The firefighters who responded did a great job in rescuing the live victims from the car, said organizers. The victims were played by Krissy and Ashley Sheehan with Annie being the pedestrian who had been struck.

Organizers thanked Lowes towing and Peter Nickerson (assist chief) who supplied the vehicles for the training. Shelburne responders included Chief Tommy Hayes; training officer Andrew Sheehan; Captain Peter Genna and Firefighter Jason; Tilly Myers, who supplied the food; water pump operator Arthur Marchand, and Gorham's crew headed by Chief Rick Eickler.
