March 14, 2026 — Members of the Audubon Fire Department participated in live fire evolutions at the West Chester Fire Training Center, focusing on critical firefighting skills including Vent Enter Search (VES), hose line advancement, and coordinated search techniques. The hands-on training provided firefighters with the opportunity to operate in realistic, controlled fire conditions, reinforcing modern tactics and enhancing team coordination during high-risk scenarios. Live evolution training remains an essential component in maintaining proficiency and ensuring crews are prepared to respond effectively to emergencies. With 138 calls for service so far this year, the Audubon Fire Department continues its commitment to readiness and protecting the community of Audubon around the clock.
