This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Skills Class," an "EMT Skills Class" and Driver Training for our members who are becoming Apparatus Drivers on Engine 141 for our weekly Sunday Training.

This Sunday's "Firefighter Skills Class" had our Firefighting personnel going through our mask confidence course. The mask confidence course is designed to help strengthen our Firefighters SCBA skills. 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 "EMT Skills Class" had our EMS personnel conducting an overview of airway management. Vista EMS personnel went over how to use an OPA (oropharyngeal), an NPA (nasopharyngeal) and the protocols for airway management. This type of training is what will prepare our EMT Candidates who are planning to take a future EMT Basic class succeed and for our EMTs who have completed EMT Basic to keep up with their skills.
