WFD On The Job Training

Much of our educations as fire fighters is learned on the job through "on the job training". We strongly believe that you learn how to do a task best by actually doing it. That is why our hands on training is so important to our jobs. This can range from climbing ladders and operating the jaws of life, to rope rescue and driving fire apparatus.  

See how our firefighters learn to save themselves.
