In today's episode Brian discusses "Mutual Aid" and why it's extremely important for us to utilize the resources around us and know what resources are available. As volunteers, we count on other agencies to assist us when responding to certain types of incidents. We can't be proficient at everything we encounter.
Know your area, know your resources, know the resources of others and work together!
