18 September 2025 - The members conducted search drills at the former Culver Lake Golf Course Clubhouse. The exercise provided newer firefighters with valuable experience operating in low-visibility conditions with air packs while searching for victims, while senior members had the chance to continue refining their techniques.


Later in the week, several members trained on drafting with Engine 1. The session included hands-on practice with hose lines and the deck gun, giving the newest member and one of the juniors an opportunity to build both confidence and experience.

Leaders emphasized that training of any caliber ensures firefighters are always ready—because when the community needs them most, every second counts.
