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.

Today, members of the Bolivar Police Department took part in CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification training led by instructors from the Bolivar Fire Department. Through hands-on training and real-world scenarios, officers strengthened lifesaving skills that could one day make all the difference in an emergency.
