Today our members participated in a confined space rescue exercise designed to challenge our firefighters and reinforce the skills needed during one of the most complex types of emergency incidents.

The training focused on teamwork, communications, scene size-up, patient access and removal, rope systems, respiratory protection, ventilation, atmospheric monitoring, and operating safely in a hazardous environment.

Great work by all that participated in the training!

🚨On August 6th the Fire Department responded to a hangar on the installation for a reported smoking electrical panel. Upon arrival of Car-578 and Engine-7 power was unable to be secured to the breaker, and there was active arcing with a heavy electric smell. Due to having an aircraft inside the hangar Car-578 requested a working fire assignment from Schenectady County UCC. Thankfully there was no extension to anywhere except the light switch that burnt. We want to give a huge thanks to all of our mutual aid, Schenectady County Coordinators, Schenectady County Investigators, along with the 109th Security Forces and our base electrician for their assistance! 🚨

The incident is still under investigation.

The Stratton Fire Department engages in a diverse range of specialized operations, requiring continuous training to optimize our capabilities!

Our recent training has encompassed
ARFF driver operator, technical rope rescue, SCBA confidence and survival, engine company operations, hazardous materials response, and other critical areas. We also partnered with the Alplaus Fire Department to conduct a joint rope rescue training, fostering stronger interagency operability!

We also got to join in on some 4th of July celebration events by participating in Alplaus Fire Department's Firefighter
Games and parade!

We wish you all a safe and happy Independence Day!

Today we had the privilege to go to Albany Airport and perform our annual ARFF live fire training evolutions. This year we got to use a new training aircraft prop that really enhanced our search and rescue skills along with fire attack. Thank you Albany Airport Professional Firefighters IAFF Local I-65 for hosting!

Over the past couple of weeks, Our firefighters have been actively expanding their knowledge and obtaining new certifications.

Firefighters Casey and Collier attended the New York State Technical Rescue Conference, where they enhanced their skills and knowledge by training with industry-leading experts in low-angle/high-angle rescue and confined space rescue.

We congratulate Firefighters DeRepentingy, Sarsick, and Baker on completing the New York State Rescue Technician Basic Course.

Additionally, we congratulate Firefighters Sarsick, Baker, and Brombacher on completing the Confined Space Rescue Technician course.

We also completed a confined space rescue exercise with aircraft fuels maintenance testing our response capabilities.

They have all brought back valuable information, updated tactics, and enhanced skill sets to the agency, which will contribute to our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible fire emergency services to the base, local community, and the state!
