A pump operations class will be held in Duffield on the 16th and 17th of March. It is a 16 hour class, and full turnouts are required. All firefighters, if you don't have this class, new and old, are urged to sign up online at Virginia Department of Fire Programs.
Also, training can be achieved for ICS - "Incident Command System" - which is used by all Virginia fire departments. You can take these classes online at www.fema.gov/training . All newly voted in firefighters, this is a must... To gradually attain rank in our Department, and help with further classes, [and this will help you achieve your FF I and FF II status], you must have these FEMA classes under your belt. It doesn't take long to accomplish this objective.
Our 26th Anniversary will come on us before you know it... April 14th, 2018.
