🚒 Our Engine Operators recently took to the streets to put their skills to the test. To maintain peak performance, each operator is required to complete the Master Pump Operator course—a program designed to keep their drafting and pumping capabilities sharp.
As the backbone of any fire ground operation, pump operators are directly responsible for establishing and maintaining a continuous water supply. In Bedford, our team must adapt to various water sources. Depending on the location, operators may connect to pressurized hydrants, draft water using dry hydrants, or pull directly from static sources like ponds, lakes, pools, and community cisterns.
We applaud all of our engine operators who successfully completed the Master Pump Operator course for their unwavering dedication to keeping Bedford safe!

Celebrating Our Next Generation of Lifesavers! 🚑✨

Join us in giving a massive CONGRATULATIONS to Juliette Brey on successfully passing her New York State EMT-Basic course!

Balancing high school academics while taking on a rigorous 180+ hour professional training program is an incredible achievement. As a dedicated member of our Recruit Program, Juliette has put in countless hours of classroom study, hands-on skill labs, and field training to earn her EMT certification. Up next, she’ll be hopping on our ambulances for shadowed ride-alongs, putting her life-saving training straight into practice right here in our community.

We could not be prouder of Juliette’s hard work, drive, and commitment to serving her neighbors at such a young age. Bedford is in great hands!

This week EMTs had an opportunity to come and work on their skills. We don’t use all the equipment all the time, so it is good to get the chance to practice with them often to keep the skills fresh!

While our village looks fully immersed in summer and things seem to have slowed down on the surface, the Bedford FD volunteers have been as busy as ever!
🚒💨
Here is a look at what kept our crew moving this past week:
* ⚡ Storm Response: Last Saturday through Monday brought heavy rains and high winds, spiking our call volume. Volunteers responded to multiple downed trees and wires, a home struck by lightning, and several medical calls.
* 🚨 Weekday Alarms: We saw a steady stream of residential and commercial alarm activations throughout the week. Thankfully, all turned out to be false alarms.
* 🛠️ Real-World Training: We wrapped up the week with live simulations at a local structure scheduled for demolition. We are incredibly grateful for opportunities to train in actual buildings, allowing our team to practice “out-of-the-box” scenarios like forced entry, roof venting, water operations, and other essential firefighting tactics.
