Colchester, VT - Members of the Colchester Fire Department conducted their annual Physical Agility Test, a key training exercise focused on maintaining operational readiness and preparing personnel for the physical demands of emergency response.
The course was designed to replicate real-world firefighting tasks, challenging endurance, strength, and mental focus under simulated fireground conditions.
Stations included donning full PPE and SCBA, ladder raises and climbs with tools, forcible entry simulations, advancing and operating a charged hoseline, equipment carries, and victim removal using a weighted mannequin.
The training ensures members remain prepared to perform effectively and safely during high-demand incidents, reinforcing the department’s commitment to readiness and service.
