First Responders from every department in Mineral County had representatives on Sunday for a Semitruck Accident Education seminar taught by Missouri River Logistics and Montana Disaster & Emergencies. The class was organized by Amy Lommen, Mineral County Disaster and Preparedness Coordinator, and was held in the county commissioner’s room. One key item was how local departments can recoup money used on accidents. Rescue equipment and clothing is expensive, and grants don’t always cover these costs.
