🔥 Training Day 🔥

Today our crews as well as Jackson County ESD-1, Ganado Vol. Fire Dept., and Jackson EMS spent time sharpening the skills that matter most when seconds count. Members conducted hands-on search and rescue training, practiced hose handling, and gave some of our newer firefighters the opportunity to work in realistic heat conditions.

Training like this ensures we stay prepared to protect our community safely and effectively — no matter the call.

Thank you to Jackson County EMS for providing medical standby, and ESD-1 for lunch!
