BIRDVILLE, Pa. (Saturday, Sept. 6) — Summit Hose Company firefighters practiced engine drafting skills Saturday morning as several members prepared for the upcoming Pro-Board Driver/Operator exam.
The certification, similar in structure to Firefighter I, requires candidates to complete both a written test and practical skill stations focused on engine operation.
Citizens Hose Assistant Chief Sean O’Connor, a Summit Hose alumnus who is also testing, hosted the training session in Birdville.
