A heads up for people in the Palmerston area today.
The Minto Fire Department is running a series of training exercises throughout the day today. It's the Minto Fire Department Extrication Day, an annual partnership the fire department does with Conestoga College. Fire fighters teach paramedic students from Conestoga different response techniques by staging various scenarios around town.
Don't be alarmed if you see plenty of fire fighter and emergency response activity in the Palmerston area today, it's all part of the big exercise.
