The Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department completed two full days of Officer Leadership and Development Training this weekend. This training helps our volunteer fire department members in both formal and informal leadership positions to gain valuable insight into the impact leaders and leadership can have on an organization’s success.

One of the many important takeaways:
“Always remember that leadership is a privilege. When you’re in a leadership role, your influence may affect the trajectories of people’s entire careers and often their lives.”

With the mix of experienced and new leaders in our department, this training is critically important to the our continued success.

Thanks to our members for their dedication, and to On Scene Training Associates for their first class instruction.

Working Smoke Detectors Save Lives.

Tonight, members of the department, including three of our newest probie firefighters, had the opportunity to work with the ladder truck for the first time.

Training like this builds confidence, develops critical skills, and prepares our members for the challenges they may face in serving our community. It’s always great to see our newest firefighters eager to learn and gain hands-on experience with the equipment they’ll rely on in the field.

Great job by everyone involved, and welcome to the next step in your fire service journey!

TVFD Update:

Wednesday evening, TVFD members participated in Live Fire Training focused on fire behavior running several evolutions through our flashover training prop. We want to thank our dedicated members for their continued commitment to training to better protect our community.

This morning at 2:17am the Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department was notified of house on fire at 509 Blake Court. First arriving units observed fire coming from the roof ridge vent and quickly went to work. As a crew advanced a hose line to the attic, a primary search was conducted and salvage covers were deployed to protect home furnishings. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished. No injuries were reported and the fire continues to be under investigation. We would again like to recognize and thank our volunteers for their commitment to protecting our community.

This morning Fire Board President, Jimmy Ledet and Fire Board Vice President Shane Guin thanked Thibodaux Chamber members for their tremendous support at our Fireman’s Fair and gave an update on current construction of new dept facilities.
