Hinesburg, VT - Members of the Hinesburg Fire Department recently participated in live-fire training at the Vermont Fire Academy, focusing on essential firefighting skills including fire suppression, victim search and rescue, and understanding fire behavior under realistic conditions.

Firefighters trained alongside mutual aid partners from Williston Fire Department, Charlotte Fire and Rescue Services, and Shelburne Fire Departments, strengthening coordination, communication, and teamwork for future joint responses.

The live-fire environment provided valuable, realistic experience that closely mirrors conditions encountered on actual structure fire scenes, reinforcing both skill development and operational readiness.
