| This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Fundamentals Class," an "EMT Fundamentals Class" and Driver Training for our members who are becoming Apparatus Drivers on Engine 141 & Tanker 4.
This week's "Firefighter Fundamentals Class" had our Firefighters reviewing search & rescue techniques, how to properly package a downed Firefighter and how to extricate a Firefighter up a staircase during rescue operations. 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 EMTs and EMT Candidates going over how to use a tourniquet and they performed an Ambulance inventory to review where all equipment is located. This type of training is what will prepare our EMT Candidates planning on taking the EMT-Basic class soon and for our current EMTs to keep up with their skills.
