| On Thursday March 19th our regular monthly training schedule continued, this month focusing on basic SCBA skills and emergency procedures.
Each member had to negotiate the several obstacles during the course, and perform low profile and side profile maneuvers with the SCBA as they made their way through a mini-maze set up in our firehouse.
To add difficulty and realism to the training, the members' vision was blacked out and they were on breathing air for the entire evolution.
Several new probationary members and CFD Junior Firefighters also participated in the drill. The drill further aided our new members with their training and confidence as they continue progress through their Firefighter 1 classes at the SCFA.
While waiting their turn, participants also practiced and reviewed knot tying.
Each month throughout the year we host a variety of in-house training sessions that help us refine our skills. These drills and trainings held at our firehouse are in addition to a schedule of Live-fire & hands on training that is held at the Suffolk County Fire Academy.
Thank you to everyone who came out and to the team from firehouse training +, for a good night of training.
Outstanding job done by all!! |
