Crested Butte Fire Protection District extends a sincere thank you to DFPC Training Officer Kendall “Squid” for leading Driver/Operator–Pumper training with our members over the past three days.
This training strengthened the skills required to safely and effectively operate fire apparatus, establish reliable water supplies, manage pump operations, and deliver the right amount of water during fire suppression incidents. Hands-on repetitions build confidence behind the wheel and at the pump panel while reinforcing sound decision-making, communication, and crew coordination.
Investing in driver/operator training directly supports safer operations for our personnel and more capable, dependable service for the Crested Butte community. Thank you, Squid, for sharing your time, knowledge, and experience with our department.
