September 15, 2025 — On Monday evening, members of the Westmere Fire Department conducted specialized training on the use of firefighting foam, a critical tool for combating fires that water alone cannot effectively control.
While foam may appear simple to deploy, its proper application requires precise techniques and regular practice. Hands-on drills like this ensure firefighters remain proficient and ready to use foam safely and effectively in real emergencies.
The Westmere Fire Department continues to welcome new members who are eager to serve their community. Applications are open for those interested in joining and learning these life-saving skills
