🔥💦 Hose Advancement Training💦🔥

Atwood Fire Protection Dist. trained on hose line advancement at our last monthly training! Our members trained on advancing a charged hose line through a structure in tight quarters and around different objects that potentially could make hose advancement difficult! Members also incorporated forcible entry training while stretching the hose line. Our members are continually training to be more efficient and also learning how to be more effective with the different hose lines and nozzles used in the fire service!🚒🔥

Atwood Fire Protection Dist. hosted a training on grain bin rescue incidents! ⚠️🚒🧑‍🚒🚨

We would like to give a Big Thanks to Taylorville Fire Department for sending a member of their department to help train and educate our members how to better prepare for an incident of this nature! Taylorville fire has responded to multiple grain bin rescue incidents so their knowledge and experience was very valuable to our members!

Many of you may not know, but AFPD and Arthur Fire and Ambulance have formed a grain bin rescue team with fully trained members! While we are separate departments and each have all of our own rescue equipment, we feel it is imperative that we work together as a team! These incidents can require a lot of specialty rescue equipment as well as lots of manpower to make a rescue successful! Our goal is to keep our team members fully trained and ready to respond in case of a grain bin emergency! This is one of the many things we train on, but we hope to never have to utilize!

Thank you Arthur Fire and Ivesdale Fire for sending members to this training!
