Recently, members (left to right) Bram Wood, Cody Rudy, Andrew Smith, and Abby Poynter spent their weekend at ESEC in Indianapolis participating in a two-day Live Fire Search class hosted by Indiana Smoke Divers.
Searching for and rescuing occupants in a burning building is one of the most critical jobs firefighters perform. Training in realistic live-fire conditions helps our crews build the skills, confidence, and decision-making abilities needed to operate effectively in low-visibility, high-stress environments.
The knowledge and experience gained through this training strengthens our department’s readiness and helps ensure we are prepared to serve the Westfield community when seconds matter most.
