New Victoria Volunteer Fire Dept - Station 28

06/01/2026

Our members along with Scotchtown Vol. Fire Dept. spent their Sunday in Florence at the awesome new Training Facility created and built by the Departments in North Division. We focused on different types of Fire attacks, Flowing water effectively and some Vent Enter Isolate Search training, it’s a game changer having the ability to flow water inside a structure during training. We can’t Thank the Florence Fire Department enough for allowing us to use their facilities. Also a Thanks to our members and their families for allowing us to use their Sunday to help better serve the community.
