Thursday nights are our training nights. Over the last few weeks we have been conducting hose testing. This involves testing every section of hose we have at high pressure. It means unloading and reloading every truck after testing. This is a very time consuming and tedious process. We would like to thank all of our firefighters for their commitment to keeping our community safe.
