Ambulance, large ladder, boat, etc. All the main vehicles were gathered around the Bleu Pluriel room in Trégueux, near Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d’Armor), for the 89e edition of the departmental congress organized by the Perray rescue center.
In the morning, the public was able to attend road rescue demonstrations, using damaged cars transported to the site. The Reconnaissance and Intervention Group in Perilous Environments (Grimp) was also present.
Highlight of the show: the bagad of Lann-Bihoué
