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 over their personal protective equipment (PPE) and participating in a "mask confidence" course where they practiced using a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). 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 going over how to properly use the Ambulance radios when communicating with nearby New York State & Connecticut hospitals and the type of equipment we may use for emergencies that typically take place during the Summer months. 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.
