One of the most important things Firefighters do is train. Incident scene’s are inherently dangerous. From the hazards that are present on the scene to the tools we use, dangers are everywhere.
Proper training is essential to ensure the safety of Firefighters and those we are moving to protect or rescue. We have resources available for both in department training and external training.
