Tonight at our monthly training, we focused on building skills across the board. Crews worked on drafting operations using grass rigs and tankers, sharpening water supply techniques and coordination.

At the same time, our newer members spent time getting familiar with the trucks, learning equipment locations and gaining hands-on experience with different nozzles.

Training nights like this keep everyone ready and ensure our team continues to grow stronger together.
