This morning, Post 17 welcomed the Wisconsin Department Of Safety And Professional Services to the Germantown Wisconsin Fire Department to receive the Youth Firefighter Training Grant of almost $23,000. In collaboration with the Richfield and Jackson Fire Department, our Post is committed to educating the future of the fire service by hosting fire and EMS trainings for our members.

This generous grant money will help us ensure high-quality training and safety via purchasing properly-fitting gear, training equipment, and materials to build training props. Afterward, our advisors, Explorer Lieutenant Zoey, and experienced Explorer Cole instructed our two newest members on throwing ladders. Thank you again to the DSPS!

Last Saturday, our Post put our recent vital sign acquisition and patient assessment knowledge together and performed some EMS scenarios. Thank you FF Archibald for being a good sport and taking a recliner to the head for a trauma assessment!

Our Post is excited to enjoy the warm-ish weather this Saturday as we start pulling hose and practice hose movement upstairs at the Jackson Fire Department!
