Brush fire season is here! Fire crews responded to multiple brush fires over the past week. Multiple Carver Breaker (26, 27, 28 and 29) assisted by Plymouth Breaker 179, worked a fast moving brush fire on the wood line edge of South Meadow Village Mobile Home Park. Wind gusts moved the fire quickly, but fire crews were able to keep it from spreading to the nearby mobile homes. Carver Tankers 1 and 2 along with Engine 3 supplied water for...

This week our new Firefighters were given a great course on Rapid Intervention and Thermal Imaging by our Recruit Trainers.  Each firefighter got a chance to practice working as a coordinated TEAM, and practice realistic self-rescue techniques that may need to be used in the event a firefighter becomes trapped or disoriented.

What a great training class our new Firefighters were treated to on Saturday.  Our Instructors used their imagination in creating rescue training scenarios in the new Training Building.  Our new Firefighters were divided up into groups.  One group worked in the new maze room, another group worked 1st-floor search and rescue scenarios.  Our new firefighters seemed to love every minute of it.  Great class!
