There’s no substitute for training in the real thing.
Props and familiar training buildings are invaluable for developing skills and reinforcing fundamentals, but acquired structures bring something different to the table - the unknown.
Construction methods, building materials, layouts, and hazards change from one home to the next and from one generation of construction to another.
Training in a donated structure gives our firefighters the opportunity to read the building, adapt to unfamiliar conditions, and sharpen the decision-making skills they’ll rely on when the call is real.
A special thank you to the Rioux family for giving our crews this invaluable training opportunity and supporting the continued development of our firefighters.
Great work today, C Shift! ... See MoreSee Less

TRAIN TODAY. READY TOMORROW.
Motor vehicle accidents can present some of the most complex and rapidly changing situations our crews encounter. That’s why hands-on vehicle rescue training matters.
Effective extrication starts long before the first cut is made. Crews must evaluate the entire scene, identify hazards, understand vehicle position and damage, and develop a plan that protects both rescuers and patients.
From there, stabilization is critical. Before rescue operations can safely progress, crews work to control vehicle movement and create a stable working environment.
Then comes the technical work: removing the vehicle from around the patient. Rather than simply focusing on getting someone “out,” rescuers train to create space, manage the vehicle, and provide the safest possible pathway for patient removal.
Every evolution builds proficiency. Every repetition strengthens teamwork. And every training opportunity helps prepare our crews for the moment when these skills are needed for real.
A special shout-out to the crew of Squad 73 for putting in the work, and a huge THANK YOU to Don Meyers and Trademark Metals Recycling for supporting our training and helping provide the resources that make realistic, hands-on vehicle rescue training possible.
Strong partnerships help build stronger responders and ultimately, a safer community. ... See MoreSee Less
