Last night during drill, crews reviewed brush-fire gear, tools, and basic wildland-fire safety practices to help ensure our members stay prepared as brush-fire season continues. Training focused on equipment familiarization, line safety, situational awareness, and operating safely in rapidly changing conditions.
Crews also had the opportunity to review a new pump and water skid system that will soon be installed on SS24-1 (UTV) to replace our current setup. The new system will improve our brush fire response capabilities and enable faster, more effective operations in areas that are difficult for larger apparatus to access.
Training and preparation like this help keep our crews ready to serve the community when the call comes.
