Throughout the year, Volunteer Fire Departments throughout Suffolk County routinely attend the Suffolk County Fire Academy in Yaphank to participate in a variety of special training sessions and live-fire drills. Each department receives a schedule of drills that take place over the course of the year.

On Tuesday night 30 of Cutchogue's "Bravest" traveled to the Fire Academy to participate in the "LP Gas" drill. This drill focuses on hose handling and teamwork as firefighters move hoses around a simulated Propane fires and controlled simulated gas leaks.

Last night marked the first of six different times that the CFD will travel to the academy to participate in live fire drills this year.

Thank you to the instructors and staff at the Suffolk County Fire Academy for providing this valuable training.

The Suffolk County Fire Academy places an important part in training and ensuring that our Volunteers are prepared for any emergency.
