Short Pulls 🚒💦

Training this week focused on bumper line hose operations, including packing the hose and flowing water.

Members worked on improving their deployment time and getting water flowing as quickly as possible after arriving on scene. The goal was to consistently have the bumper line deployed and flowing in under 30 seconds.

Great training, teamwork, and repetition help build the muscle memory needed when seconds count! 🚒🔥

Train like you respond!

💦🚒 WATER WARS 2026 IS A WRAP! 🚒💦

August 15th marked the final Water Wars event for 2026, and the Argyle Fire District crew had a blast getting out in the community and soaking some kids! 💦😂

From the looks on their faces, the kids had just as much fun as we did. It was a great way to wrap up the summer, spend time with our community, and make some great memories.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came out and participated in Water Wars this year. We truly appreciate the support from our community! ❤️

Don't worry—we're already looking forward to next year! We plan to be back in 2027 to soak even more kids! 💦😎

Until then, stay safe, stay cool, and we'll see you next year!

🚒 RIT TRAINING AT ARGYLE FIRE DEPARTMENT 🚒

This week’s training at Argyle Fire Department focused on Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) operations.

RIT training is an important part of firefighter safety and can be very in-depth. There are many factors that have to be considered when a firefighter or civilian needs to be removed from a structure, including:

🔹 Where the victim is located
🔹 How the victim is found and assessed
🔹 Whether the victim is a firefighter or civilian
🔹 Different methods of removing the victim from the structure
🔹 Using webbing, rope, or other rescue equipment
🔹 Moving a victim through a doorway or window
🔹 Techniques for removing a downed firefighter
🔹 Working as a team while maintaining firefighter safety

Our newer members were given an overview of what RIT is, why it is needed, and how RIT operations are conducted. They then participated in hands-on skills to begin developing the knowledge and techniques needed for a successful rescue operation.

RIT training is not something that can be learned in one night. It takes repetition, teamwork, communication, and continued hands-on training to build the skills needed when seconds count.

A big part of our mission at Argyle Fire Department is making sure our members are prepared to help protect our community and each other. 🚒🔥
