This Sunday morning we held "Live Fire Training" for our Firefighters at the Westchester County Fire Training Center in Valhalla, New York. Our Vista Firefighters began the "live fire training" by practicing hose line advancement in the Class A burn building and learned the effects of fire behavior from the instructors of the Westchester County Fire Training Center. Following the Class A burn building our Firefighters trained in the propane burn building to practice hose line advancement, search & rescue techniques and forcible entry. We would like to thank the Westchester County Fire Training Center and their instructors for having us this past Sunday.
