Along with these calls for service our department has had a very busy year. Our first mission has been to provide our members with quality training. From the very basics of firefighting and EMS skills to very technical vehicle extrication, Haz-Mat, pump operations and live fire trainings. Our members have put in more than 2,500 hours of training to better serve our community. This year we completed the building of our own training building which is located at the transfer station. I would like to personally thank all of those who were involved in getting the building completed and ready for our members to utilize. With this new training building we will be able to perform many hours of valuable including live fire, search and rescue, ventilation training that otherwise we would not be able to complete. Below are some photos of the building in use earlier this year. W orking T o promote and protect the health abd safety of our community and first responders
