The Vista Fire Department would like to congratulate Foreman Ryan Ruggiero on successfully completing the "Basic Wildland Fire Suppression" class at the Westchester County Fire Training Center in Valhalla, New York!

Foreman Ruggiero completed the 12-hour course, which covered:

"Developed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers and the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control for firefighters involved in wildland fire suppression. The course contents include jurisdiction and responsibilities, fire behavior, wildland fire elements and size-up, use of tools and equipment, general concepts related to fire suppression, securing the control line, and standards for safety."

All training is free of charge for the members of the Vista Fire Department, and we are always looking for new volunteers!
