This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Fundamentals Class," "EMT Fundamentals Class" and Driver Training for our members who are becoming Apparatus Drivers on Engine 141, Engine 142 & Engine 143.

This week's "Firefighter Fundamentals Class" had our Firefighters going over donning & doffing drills and how to properly stretch an 1-3/4" hose line off of Engine 143. 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 week's "EMT Fundamentals Class" had our EMS personnel learning how to practice taking vital signs in EMS such as pulse, blood pressure and respirations. This type of training is what will prepare our EMT Candidates who are preparing themselves for a future EMT Basic class and for our EMTs who have completed EMT Basic to keep up with their skills.
