Volunteers from Hartford Fire & Rescue and Colton Fire Department recently completed live fire training.
A huge thank you to the State Firefighters Association and the State Fire Marshal's office for the Mobile Live Fire Training Unit for the support and assistance with acquiring this. This training will better prepare our personnel to handle fires in the community.

Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up… for our meeting night EMS training we practiced on using a Binder lift. It’s a device that helps us get people up who have fallen (but are not injured). It’s a great device to get them up off the floor or the ground, but also helps us save on our backs.

Last evening members of Hartford Fire and Rescue participated in "Light the Night". Light the Night is a national day of remembrance that honors those that have died in the line of duty. We gathered in silence and prayer to remember the men and women, the families and the communities that have lost a loved one.
