On Saturday, FHFD firefighters were up bright and early for hands-on apparatus operator training with instructors from the Suffolk County Fire Academy. Establishing a sufficient water supply is critical for any fire incident, and training sessions like this one ensure that our apparatus operators are up to the task.

On Friday night FHFD firefighters were hard at work at the Suffolk County Fire Academy, participating in a vehicle fires training exercise. Vehicle fires are relatively uncommon on Fire Island due to driving restrictions, but when they do occur it's important that our firefighters are prepared.
