In April 2008, six of our volunteers completed Basic Wildland Firefighter training at the Platte Canyon Fire Protection District, to increase their safety and awareness of fire weather, incident management, and wildland firefighting operations.  Good Job!!!

In 2005, we gave a demonstration of dog mushing to a lively group of seniors in the Denver area.  Our only mistake was picking the middle of a hot summer day for the full-gear demonstration! 

AEV Mushing Demonstrations
Our organization conducts demonstrations of mushing in order to help increase public awareness and understanding of this wonderful sport.  Please contact us at info@animalEVAC.org for more information about this demonstration, or to organize a mushing demonstration in your area.
