| 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 Thursday night, 25 of Cutchogue's "Bravest" traveled to the Fire Academy to participate 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 local hardware stores.
Last night marked the last of six different times that the CFD has travelled 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. |
