Today, the B-Shift of the Bath VA Fire Department conducted a confined space rope rescue operations training exercise alongside our co-workers from the on station Boiler Plant.

These realistic, hands-on evolutions allow us to sharpen our technical rescue skills, strengthen teamwork, and make sure that we are always prepared to respond wherever called.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make today’s training a success.

We train to serve and protect our Veterans, staff, and community.

Bath VAFD B-Shift took advantage of the great weather today, training on swift water rescue. The Cohocton River runs through our campus, which allows for great training opportunities to hone our skills and be prepared should a water rescue situation arise.
