Being fast and efficient at deploying ladders requires lots and lots of practice. Rapid Valley Firefighters practiced the art of "throwing" ladders at the station yesterday evening. After a brief classroom discussion about ladder construction, the crew went outside and worked on their skills.
Tonight, is the department's CPR refresher that we run at least once a year. We really appreciate Deb for coming out and joining us to start our training this evening.
Today marked another session of the firefighter certification class for members from the Rapid Valley, Box Elder Volunteer Fire Department, and New Underwood Volunteer Fire Department. These new firefighters will be part of the next generation of volunteer firefighters in Pennington County.
