BAKERSFIELD, CALIF (KERO) — All hands on deck! The Kern County Fire Department kicked off their first ever 'Community Emergency Response Team Rodeo day'.
They hosted CERT members from across the county to show their skills and abilities when it comes to disaster response.
Andrew freeborn with KCFD says this is an opportunity to help those around you and explains that having this certification helps law enforcement when they are dealing with other critical needs.
