Lawrence Township, N.J. — October 26, 2026 — Firefighters from West Trenton Volunteer Fire Company traveled to the Mercer County Fire Academy on Monday for live-fire training focused on fireground operations.
The training took place at the Dempster Fire Training Center in Lawrence Township. Members worked in a controlled live-fire environment designed to provide experience operating in heat, smoke and limited visibility.
The exercises reinforced the communication, teamwork and discipline required during structural fire operations. Training in these conditions allows firefighters to apply their skills in a supervised setting while improving coordination and confidence during fireground assignments.
The Mercer County Fire Academy provides hands-on instruction and training opportunities for firefighters throughout the county. Its programs support the development of both new and experienced emergency responders.
