July was another busy month of training at Twin Lakes Fire/Rescue. We believe that staying prepared means continually learning, practicing, and sharpening our skills, and July gave our members plenty of opportunities to do just that.
At the beginning of the month, Aurora South Medical Direction came out to the department for our 2026 Q3 EMS training. Aurora South provides our members with two opportunities to attend each quarterly training, one morning session and one evening session, to help accommodate attendance. We are incredibly thankful for their continued partnership and for coming to our station to provide both classroom education and high-fidelity simulation.
This quarter's training covered sports injuries and concussions/traumatic brain injuries (TBI), along with other sports-related medical concerns. Members also reviewed the guidelines for Universal Care โ Trauma Management, Traumatic Injuries, and Hyperthermia/Heat Exposure.
On the fire side, members had the opportunity to get hands-on and educational time with our new Brush Truck and Ultra High Pressure (UHP) system. Understanding the capabilities of our equipment and how to effectively use it is an important part of being prepared when the call comes in.
And the training doesn't stop with our monthly evening trainings. Our in-station day staff complete an additional hour of fire training and an hour of EMS training each day, providing even more opportunities to practice skills and stay current.
Whether it's treating a patient, managing a traumatic injury, operating new equipment, or responding to a fire, our goal is always the same: to be as prepared as possible to take care of our community when you need us most.
A big thank you to Aurora South Medical Direction and all of our members who continue to put in the time to train, learn, and improve.
Train today. Be ready tomorrow. Serve our community every day.
