County officials attend semi accident education seminar

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.
