🔥Burn Restrictions Update🔥

Extraction Training Day! Last training of September and we focused on Extraction. We started with working on our knots then moved outside.

We worked with only hands tools as we never know where a call will take us and hydraulic tools are not always the reliable option.

We first stabilized the vehicle to ensure it stays safe during the assessment and extraction of the patient.
We then used to two different techniques to reach a patient through the roof and trunk of a vehicle.

Join us for training on the first and third Saturday of the month!

We Will Never Forget

Training day! On Saturday we went over the type of calls we receive and proper Apparatus and PPE for each call. Our priority is our community but we want to make sure our safety is also a priority. Proper PPE and apparatus will help us be able to keep our community safe.

Then we headed outside to work on our hose lays.
The importance of quick deployment but also being able to do it by yourself. As a Volunteer department you never know who will be able to answer the call and we need to be ready to deploy a line, be able to be on the nozzle, or be a pump operator.

Training day is on the first and third Saturday of the month. If you are curious of joining, stop by our Main station on training day and get some info or join us for training!
