For the last 2 days, our firefighters received an in-depth look at the capabilities and features of our new Engine 4 while participating in extensive hands-on training focused on rural water supply operations and advanced drafting techniques.

A special thank you to the instructors from the Tennessee Fire and Codes Enforcement Academy for providing this valuable training and helping ensure our personnel are prepared to deliver the highest level of service to our community and neighboring departments.

Continuous training is essential to firefighter safety, operational readiness, and effective emergency response. We appreciate the partnership and expertise shared by the Academy as we continue investing in our people and our equipment.

Training Day!
Today was a training day not only for our guys but for any firefighter in the county who wished to attend. Firefighters from Bolivar, Hornsby, Whiteville, and Toone were all represented.

Excellence on the fireground begins long before the call—it begins on the training ground, and a well-trained firefighter is the community's strongest defense and the department's greatest asset. That's what today was all about - training today to be ready for the worst day.

Thanks to the Town of Hornsby and Hornsby Fire Chief Mark Bradford for hosting today's training. Topics covered included wall breaches, converting a window to a door, roof ventilation, scene safety, and the all-important 360.

Congratulations to Engineer Matthew Marek on his completion of his EMR Instructor Coordinator course!
