This Sunday morning we held a "Firefighter Skills Class" for our weekly Sunday Training.
This Sunday's "Firefighter Skills Class" had our Firefighting personnel reviewing how to stretch an 1-3/4" hose line, how to operate the Engine 141 pump panel and they also conducted a flow test for Engine 141. A "flow test" is conducted to determine if the water supply meets the firefighting requirement in a given hose line and nozzle. This type of training is what will help our Firefighters who plan on attending the New York State Firefighter I program succeed in their class and for our Firefighters who have completed Firefighter I to keep up with their skills.
