Training

Firefighters are frequently called to various types of emergencies beyond fire suppression.  Each fire department holds different service agreements.  Often firefighters are dispatched to medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents, technical rescue operations, flooding and inclement weather response and wildland fires, just to name a few.  If you want to know more about the fire services in your community, reach out to your municipality or fire department for more details.
