All on-duty Jackson firefighters took part in a hands-on training session yesterday at Station 55-1 in Johnson Park. The training focused on forcible entry techniques, starting with conventional hand tools before advancing to hydraulic methods.

Firefighters performed multiple evolutions with traditional tools and then transitioned to the HURST Strongarm eDraulic tool for advanced applications. The session was organized under the town-wide training committee initiative, led by Captain McLaughlin with assistance from Captain Porth.

The training was conducted in coordination with Jackson Fire District No. 2 and Jackson Township Fire District No. 4.
