Yesterday, Engine 51 and Truck 51 conducted a training evolution to enhance the skills of our Engineers and Acting Engineers. These trainings and evolutions are critical in the development of our personnel as well as ensuring operational readiness. Also, as can be seen in the background, some of the neighborhood children utilized the opportunity to cool off in the park. This ended up being a win/win for the community and us.

Today, Merced Fire Department firefighters had a great time working with the youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Merced during hands on fire extinguisher training. Participants learned the basics of fire safety and had the opportunity to practice using extinguishers on our live training prop.

This training prop was made possible through a grant and strong partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Merced, helping us provide interactive fire safety education to the next generation. We appreciate the continued collaboration and commitment to keeping our community safe.
