MPO Training & Hoseline Advancement drill
 
By Vista Fire Department
March 17, 2015
 

This week's Monday drill saw our Vista Firefighters train on operating the Engine 141 pump panel while several other members practiced their hoseline advancement techniques. The Vista FD is currently in the process of training new Motor Pump Operators (MPO) and preparing our Firefighters to learn how an interior or exterior fire attack takes place by advancing hoselines off of Engine 141 to extinguish a fire.

We drill every Monday from 6:30pm - 9:30pm and are always looking for new members. If you're interested and would like to apply, visit us any Monday night for more information!
