Rio Hondo College's Fire Academy offers Auto Extrication as part of their 11-day Regional Truck Academy. Recently, firefighters had the chance to attend an eight-hour advanced auto extrication course which included new SUV's for firefighters to practice on.

The 26 new Borrego's were donated by Kia Motors America and were set up along with old technology vehicles at three extrication stations: the over/under station, the upside down station and a station with a vehicle on its side.
