This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

The past few weeks have been packed with activity for our members as we tackled truck inspections, truck services, NFPA pump testing, pump maintenance, and both hose and ladder testing. We wrapped up this busy stretch with a hands-on training at the PSB building, utilizing the newly installed hydrant to sharpen our skills in pump operations, deck gun use, and handline work. Despite the heat, our crew pushed through and made it a productive night.


A big thank you goes out to Desorcie Emergency Products and Ray’s Towing & Recovery for stepping up on short notice and helping us get a lot of important work done.
