This past Friday was yet another busy day on the fire training grounds at the PSTF.
Numerous HOT classes were taking place as part of the 2026 STEP Conference with instructors from Vigilant Fire Training, Barnard and Gates Fire Districts. These included man in machine, stand pipe operations, elevator rescue and search operations.
The Veteran Affairs Fire Department from Bath and Canandaigua were on site all day as well. They completed evolutions on the car fire prop and worked in the structural fire trainer with their newer firefighters.
In the midst of all the training a small group of high school seniors toured the PSTF and we were able to give them a demonstration with the ARFF truck and an aircraft simulated emergency.
