Wow, did we have fun today at our annual Fire & EMS Demonstration Day at Perry Heights Middle School! Each year, to wrap up the school year, we spend a day with the 7th graders, giving them hands-on experience in the Fire & EMS Service. Students got to spray fire hoses, use extrication equipment, learn CPR, meet Fire Dog Kia, and watch a demonstration on why you never pour water on a grease fire.It’s always a great day of learning, teamwork, and, hopefully, inspiring future firefighters, EMS providers, and community leaders!

Happy EMS Week, and a BIG THANK YOU to Hacienda Mexican Restaurants West-Pearl Dr. for feeding us during our EMS training night!While enjoying some excellent food, our crews completed a refresher training session in preparation for our upcoming MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) drill. Coming up in June, we’ll be working alongside our training partners during our annual multi-agency exercise to help ensure we’re all prepared and ready to respond if disaster strikes.We truly appreciate the support from our community and businesses that help keep our first responders fueled and ready to serve.

It was a fun and challenging morning for our newest members and firefighters with anywhere from 1 to 40 years of experience as they teamed up for a double training session.The morning started in the EFD Confidence Maze, where members navigated through extremely tight spaces while remaining on air from their SCBA tanks. The maze challenges firefighters both mentally and physically while reinforcing confidence, air management, and staying calm in confined environments.After that, crews moved to aerial ladder operations, learning how to “feather” the controls of our 100-foot aerial ladder with smooth, precise movements to carefully place a tennis ball on top of a traffic cone. It takes teamwork, communication, and patience, and every crew completed the challenge successfully.Training days like this help build skills, trust, and teamwork between generations of firefighters.
