Mt. Vernon Professional Fire Fighters

06/09/2026

We had a great day of training with the Illinois Army National Guard Firefighter teams. Members of the 615th, 661st, and the 662nd FFT conducted foam operations today.

Despite the heat and humidity, members were motivated to learn about foam operations using the Pro-pak and TFT in-ljne foam educators from Lt. Doug Boczek.

Thank you for stopping by and we look forward to future trainings together.
