The Vista Fire Department spent this "Super Sunday" morning holding Motor Pump Operator (MPO) Class on Engine 141 and Rescue 13. Led by Foreman Marc Baiocco & Firefighter Mark Albert, Vista Firefighters reviewed the Engine 141 & Rescue 13 pump panel while practicing how to operate the pump panel by conducting scenarios that placed the motor pump operator in a structural fire scenario.
The VFD holds MPO class the 1st two Sundays of every month to help all our Firefighters understand the pump panel on our apparatus and prepare them as drivers in the Department.
