Draft training with Ladder 1 on the Mohawk last night. Training is essential!

05/21/2026

Here are some photos of RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) training with our partners at the St.Johnsville Fire Dept. this past Tuesday night. The training also included the Denver Drill which simulates removing a downed firefighter from a confined area with limited access, requiring coordinated movements, problem-solving, and absolute trust in our crew.

Training is so very important, we are thankful for our volunteers.
