An exciting and action-packed training is underway as first responders from Pennsylvania and New Jersey come together for specialized instructor training in UTV/ATV operations and emergency trailer driving. This hands-on program focused on building the skills needed to safely and effectively operate off-road response vehicles and tow emergency equipment in real-world conditions.

These newly trained instructors will now be able to bring this knowledge back and teach new students and strengthen response capabilities across multiple departments.

This weekend, our team had the opportunity to take part in an incredible Heavy Vehicle Rescue training alongside a dedicated and hardworking group of instructors. A sincere thank you to the Gary Sinise Foundation for supporting training opportunities that help first responders continue to grow, learn, and better serve their communities.

A huge thank you to all of the instructors from Training To Preform Under Pressure who shared their time, experience, and knowledge throughout the weekend. Their professionalism and dedication to the fire service made this training a tremendous success.

Training like this gives firefighters the opportunity to train to perform under pressure when seconds matter most. With several major highways in our area, continuing to sharpen our heavy rescue skills ensures our team is prepared to provide the highest level of service during complex vehicle and heavy rescue emergencies.

We are looking forward to bringing this outstanding team of instructors to our area in the future to continue training our firefighters and strengthening regional preparedness.

Train hard. Stay ready. Serve with pride.

Today, we pause to remember our fallen brothers from the Bensalem Police Department.

We honor their sacrifice, their service, and their memory.
