Each year, approximately 2,500 person-hours are spent in fire related training, and approximately 1,200 hours are spent in EMS training. The majority of this training happens on the first, third and fourth Mondays of every month. All of this training is necessary to keep skills sharp throughout department personnel.
A number of items that are covered in training are noted below, but the list continually grows as new technologies come into use. The department continues to add new skills as necessary to help increase the level of services that can be supplied to the community. |
