Training Days

Over the last few months, many firefighters in our brother and sister fire companies complimented us in regards to how much training we put in day and night. We thank you for the compliments.

Instead of sitting in the recliners, we put in work. We take pride in our training and like to exercise our equipment instead of our mouths. We train the best for the unfortunate possibility of the worst.

Today, Company members came back from their 3rd run of the day. Despite the 85 degree warm weather, they geared up in PPE and went to work training with the SLICE tool. Although I would of played with water today, I applaud them. Nice work Chad Reed, Doug Vorp, Darrin, Zohair Ahson Alex Juzinew, Austin McGinley (Austin Massachusetts), and Nick Lombardi!
