Day 1 of Vista FD Motor Pump Operator Class
 
By Vista Fire Department
December 22, 2014
 

With the Vista Fire Department's drill schedule all wrapped up for 2014, the VFD members spent their Sunday participating in the 1st day of an in-house motor pump operator (MPO) class to help develop new MPO's for our Department.

Taught by Ex-Chief Bill Dingee, the members learned the ins & outs of the pump panel and are now ready for the practical portion of this 4-day course on Monday night.

If you're interested in becoming an Apparatus Driver and/or Motor Pump Operator, contact us on the "Become a Member" tab at VistaFD.org or call us at (914)-533-2727!
