This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Skills Class," a "Motor Pump Operators Class" and Driver Training for our members who are becoming Apparatus Drivers on the Ambulances for our weekly Sunday Training.

This Sunday's "Firefighter Skills Class" had our Firefighting personnel reviewing how to stretch an 1-3/4" hose line off of Engine 143 and how to conduct proper nozzle technique while putting out a fire. 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.

This Sunday's "Motor Pump Operators Class" had our prospective apparatus drivers going over how to operate the Engine 143 pump panel. Vista Firefighters practice drafting, conducting a change over with Tanker 4 and operating 200 feet of 1-3/4" smooth bore nozzle with Engine 143. This type of training is what will help our prospective Apparatus Drivers become cleared drivers on Engine 143.
