2026 Annual Training has kicked off for the Local 1038 Firefighters. Training this week included beneficial information regarding the pump house system that feeds the hydrants and standpipes for many of the buildings on the property. Multiple diameters of hoses were used to test flow and efficiency, from an 1 3/4”, 2 1/2”, and a 3” step gun. In additional to flowing water, large area search and vehicle lifting and stabilization were also reviewed.

Local 1038 firefighters conduct annual training every year ranging in topics from vehicle rescue to structural fire fighting. FAA Part 139 annual live fire burns will be conducted in April.

Did you know…

Every shift the on duty firefighters conduct operational apparatus checks? Not only does this ensure the fire apparatus are performing as they’re supposed to, it also gives the firefighters the opportunity to practice their skills in placement, positioning, and pumping.
