What We Train For...

Callouts are where we put our training into practice and although it would be nice sometimes to not have some of the callouts we get, that is why we train. The galleries below are from just a small selection of the callouts we attend. More will be added in time but grabbing the camera on the way out is not the first thing on your mind.
