On Thursday night, shortly after returning from a house fire in Jamesport, 20 of Cutchogue's Bravest once again traveled to the Suffolk County Fire Academy Yaphank for live fire training.
The firefighters participated in the "Taxpayer" drill.

This drill simulates a commercial building fire and is held in a specially designed building that replicates a small strip mall. The drill prepares firefighters to fight fires in commercial buildings and stores in our area such as King Kullen and hardware stores.

Firefighters participated in 3 different evolutions under live fire conditions that tested their skills under the watchful eyes of Suffolk County Fire Academy instructors.

The Cutchogue Fire Department like many other fire departments in Suffolk County, routinely travel to the Fire academy several times over the course of the year,to participate in different training evolutions.

Tonight marked the 5th of 6 times that CFD will travel to Yaphank this year for live fire training.

The Officers and Members of the Cutchogue Fire Department would like to thank the instructors and entire academy staff and for giving us the skills and knowledge to help us protect our community.
