Monday Training

Tonight, members of the department, including some of our newest firefighters, trained on a very important set of skills: auto extrication.

We cut up a donated vehicle at the station this evening in full gear to show some of our newer folks the basics and reinforce techniques for others.

This is just one of many regular trainings we hold each year.

We were thrilled to have a firefighter from Blackwell VFD join us as well. Training together ensures we’re ready to work together when it counts.

Interested in joining the next one? Visit RoscoeFire.org for more information on how you can join us.

Roscoe has experienced a water main break, causing water to be turned off to the entire city.

We are aware of this situation and have made contact with our mutual aid partners in the event of a major fire.

Situations like this are why we train on water tender operations, water shuttling, and dealing with contingencies.
