Today, B shift spent time sharpening their skills through company training. Each crew selected a different hands-on training topic, allowing them to focus on building and refining the skills that matter most in the field.

From reviewing the fundamentals to tackling more advanced scenarios, every training opportunity helps ensure we're prepared to provide the highest level of service to our community.

Help us congratulate Captain Josh Corry as he takes the last lap of his last tour. Yesterday Capt Corry worked his last shift before enjoying the start of his well earned retirement. Josh started in the fire service in 2004 and has been a member of Florence Fire/EMS since 2005. He has been a steadfast member of every crew he served with and one of the most competent fire ground tacticians to have on scene. We are grateful for the example he set during his 21 years of dedication to his craft and our community. Congratulations Josh, and good luck to what comes next.
