This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Fundamentals Class" and Driver Training for our members who are becoming Apparatus Drivers on Engine 141 & Engine 143. This week's "Firefighter Fundamentals Class" had our Firefighters practicing donning & doffing their gear during both the "25 second drill" & the "2 minute drill" and then they went through our mask confidence course to challenge them through various scenarios as they were in full turnout gear while on their SCBA. This type of training is what will help our Firefighters who plan on attending the New York State Firefighter I program succeed in their class and for our Firefighters who have completed Firefighter I to keep up with their skills.
