đźš’ Training Today. Prepared for Tomorrow.

Vernon Fire Rescue Services crews recently completed HAZMAT (Hazardous Materials) training to strengthen their skills and preparedness when responding to incidents involving hazardous materials.

This hands-on training helps our firefighters build the knowledge and confidence needed to assess hazards, work safely, and protect our community when the unexpected happens.
Ongoing training is an important part of ensuring our crews are ready to respond when our community needs us most.
