JACKSON COUNTY, Ind. — Jackson County EMS and the Seymour Fire Department conducted foam pit training Wednesday morning at Girls Inc., using the facility to practice patient care and extrication techniques for people unable to self-extricate due to serious injuries.

Gymnastics Lane hosted the session, which officials said provided hands-on experience and strengthened interagency coordination.
