Just as the term " Active Firefighter" implies, you have to take an active part in many areas within the Association. We provide the training opportunities and all the equipment for that training, even the money for outside classes, but it is up to you to take an active part in that training. Training (drill night) is held on the second, third and forth (occasionally the fifth) Tuesday of each month. We begin at 7:15 PM and usually train until 10:00 PM. Your safety is a constant part of the training. We need each and every one of our members and we want to minimize the chances of you being injured in training or "on the job". Hands-on training is offered on every piece of firefighting equipment in the department. There are classes in Hazardous Materials, Incident Command, Rescue Techniques and many more fire or rescue related aspects.

For members who are more Emergency Medical Response oriented, we offer a wide range of training opportunities. We offer First Responder classes, Emergency Medical Technician classes and refresher classes, even opportunities for you to pursue full Paramedic Certification. It is entirely up to you to make use of any or all of these opportunities. Weekly classes are also held in many select areas to keep our skills up to date. CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) classes and refreshers are held yearly. Additionally, classes in lifting and moving patients, childbirth, Advanced Life Support, trauma and many other topics are taught. Safety is a priority topic in each training class. Your safety and the safety of your patient are stressed.   more...
