OHFR training night!

Members spent the evening working on technical rescue rope systems and pulley setups, practicing mechanical advantage and controlled rope operations. Crews also ran firefighter hose drills and reviewed SCBA skills to reinforce safe and efficient fireground operations.

Training like this helps keep our members prepared, confident, and ready to respond when our community needs us.

Interested in serving your community and training with a great team? OHFR is always looking for dedicated individuals to join our department. Stop by the station or message us to learn how you can become a member.
