25 Volunteers Attend Live Fire Training
By Deputy Chief John Munson
March 31, 2014
This past Monday evening, 25 members of the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department made their way to the county's fire training center in Valhalla for a night of refresher training.
Using the propane fire prop building, members performed multiple evolutions of simulated residential fire procedures. Members were split up into teams to conduct forcible entry, search, fire attack, ladder placement and hose line advancement.
The drill was coordinated by First Assistant Chief Matt Mansfield, and was attended by members of all five companies and Explorer Post 2089. Training, such as this, provides realistic scenarios to help our volunteers sharpen their skills.
Providing coverage for our district during this training was a Rescue-Pumper and Ladder from Ossining, as well as our own Tanker 10.
Thank you to the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services for the use of the facility and to the Ossining FD for your coverage to allow us to have our drill.
