At the 9 House we
take training very seriously with safety being our number one concern.
We are very proud of the level of training and experience that we
provide to our customers on both fire and EMS calls and are continuously
striving to improve our level of training and certification. In
the spring of 2007 Station 9 will be hosting a Vehicle Rescue class
including BVR Awareness, Operations, Technician, and Special Vehicle
Rescue Operations. Summer will see Station 9 host a Fire Fighter
II course with all of our FF I's scheduled to achieve FF II
certification in Fall 2007. These professional certification
courses are complimented by bi-monthly in house training on skills,
tactics, and mutual aid company interoperability in addition to required
retraining in Hazardous Materials Operations, Blood Borne Pathogens, and
EMS Continuing Education.
Clinton County hosts a web page

important skill to train on. The goal of the practical
portion of the class (as shown in the photos) was to sustain a
1000 GPM flow for an indefinite period of time, then critique
the operation. Instructor: Dave Braun |

LIBERTY
CURTIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - FIRE PREVENTION |
| |
|
| Each year
we spend a morning at Liberty Curtin Elementary School teaching
the students about fire prevention and fire safety. We
talk about the importance of having smoke detectors in the home,
how to get out safely during a fire, and many other fire related
topics. We also have one of our firefighters don turn out
gear including SCBA so that students see what a firefighter
looks and sounds like that may come to rescue them if the get
trapped in a fire so they know not to be affraid. This is
very rewarding for both the students and our members.
