January Training

Our department hosted a training burn in early January. Many of our neighboring departments were in attendance as we had over 50 firefighters present. Click here pictures.

 

February Training

February Training. We spent some time going over proper fire hydrant techniques. We also practiced setting up our aerial truck and climbing the ladder. Our training officers built a model roof for us to practice ventilation techniques. This realistic drill allowed us to cut through shingles and sheeting materials. Participants had to don protective gear and perform this drill while wearing an air pack. Click here for pictures.

 

March Training

March Training. We have access to a couple structures slated for destruction so we will use them for training purposes as long as we can. Our March training allowed us to practice our roof ventilation techniques and others practiced search procedures and self-rescue methods.
