Firefighters are required to complete two hours of job-specific training during each 24-hour shift. Some training we do on our own, some is done in conjunction with cooperating agencies. Training activities often include:

• Emergency medical scenarios (Basic Life Support & Advanced Life Support)
• Rescue Drills: Auto Extrication; Swiftwater; Confined Space; High and Low Angle Rescue
• Skills Sessions: SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus); Rope/Rescue Systems; Ladders; Progressive Hoselays
• Fire Readiness Exercises (wildland fire operations)
• Live-fire training (structure fire operations)
• EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course)
• EMT continuing education
• Hazardous Materials
• Incident Management (Incident Command System)
• Fire Investigation and Fire Prevention Codes & Ordinances Updates
