This Sunday morning we held a "Motor Pump Operators & Firefighter Skills Class" for our weekly Sunday Training.
This Sunday's "Motor Pump Operators & Firefighter Skills Class" had our Firefighting personnel going over hose line advancement and search & rescue while members learned how to operate the pump panel for Engine 141. Vista Firefighters practiced the fundamental skills typically conducted during a structure fire by reviewing hose line advancement, search & rescue and attack engine pump operations. This type of training is what will help our prospective Apparatus drivers to become cleared drivers in our Department as well as 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.
