This spring, the Titusville Fire Department has been focused on expanding their expertise and refining their skills, with a combination of annual hazmat updates and training sessions at the PA State Fire Academy. As a result, all crew members have been extremely busy. In April, firefighters N. Hosier, C. Mallory, and S. Hosier attended a 4-day, 40-hour training session, Engine Academy 1, at the Fire Academy in Lewistown. This crew also had the opportunity to work along side members from Oil City Fire Department and City of Meadville FD. This month, Lt. Brown, Lt. Nikolaison, FF Gordon, and FF Hartshorne also attended the same training. The course provided instruction on advanced hose line techniques, water mapping, and live fire burns, enabling participants to practice their skills in a realistic setting. All members are looking forward to their next training session at the Academy.
