Freehold, N.J. — November 9 — Members of the Monmouth Beach Fire Company took part in a live fire training exercise Monday evening at the Monmouth County Fire Academy.
The scenario-based drill gave firefighters an opportunity to sharpen their fireground skills, build confidence and practice working together under realistic fire conditions.
The session also allowed apparatus operators to become familiar with the department’s new Engine 33 (3375). Training with newly acquired apparatus helps operators understand its handling and operation before using it during emergency responses.
Firefighters thanked the instructors at the Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office and Fire Academy for providing the training opportunity.
The Monmouth County Fire Academy provides hands-on instruction for career and volunteer firefighters, with training covering fire suppression, rescue operations, hazardous materials and incident command.
