This week at the fire academy, students practiced ventilation methods, burned a dollhouse to visualize fire flow paths, and led a review session to reinforce their skills.
Thank you to Captain Jay Bettencourt, Tyler Brown, and Tom McDonough for instructing and supporting our academy members.
We’re proud of the students’ hard work and commitment to learning.

Last week, our Fire Academy participants trained on hose deployment and pediatric airway scenarios.
Crews practiced stretching hose lines from the engine to the door, then advancing charged hose through the building.
Crews also worked through pediatric airway scenarios to build confidence and strengthen patient-care skills.
A great week of hands-on training. Thanks to everyone who participated!
