Region 2 Fire Companies Conduct Live-Fire Training at Montgomery County Fire Academy

Firefighters from multiple Region 2 companies participated in a coordinated live-fire training exercise, rotating through operational assignments designed to strengthen fireground skills and interdepartmental coordination.

The first of two scheduled live-burn sessions was held Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at the Montgomery County Fire Academy in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Participating crews completed a series of training scenarios over approximately two hours.

Personnel rotated through first-due and second-due engine assignments, first-due truck operations, Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) duties, and rehabilitation functions. The rotations allowed firefighters to practice different responsibilities while working alongside personnel from neighboring companies.

Special Service 51 provided on-site support by refilling self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) cylinders throughout the exercise. The training was the first of two planned sessions involving Region 2 companies.
