On Wednesday, April 23rd, and Thursday, April 24th, the Vista Volunteer Fire Department proudly participated in the John Jay High School "Trial By Fire" recruitment event alongside the Katonah, South Salem, and Golden’s Bridge Fire Departments.

Throughout the event, John Jay High School students engaged in several hands-on stations designed to introduce them to firefighting skills in a fun and competitive way. Winning teams were awarded a special "Trial By Fire" shirt!

The event featured three key stations:
-- "Don-Climb-Doff" – Focused on properly wearing and removing firefighting gear.
-- "Sketch the Unseen" – A communication challenge emphasizing radio skills.
-- "Dummy Drag" – A test of the physical strength required in firefighting.

Vista FD is proud to take part in meaningful community outreach events like "Trial By Fire," inspiring the next generation of firefighters. A huge thank you to the Katonah Fire Department for organizing and including us in this fantastic event!
