This past Thursday, Ex-Captain Brian Grogan organized and led a multi-company training at the Elmont Fire Department Training Center with members from Engine 3, Engine 4, and Truck 2.

Firefighters trained on forcible entry, stretching and advancing hose lines, and search operations, working under real fire and smoke conditions under the supervision of the Red Line Fire Training Group. Trainings like this ensure our members stay sharp and prepared for the challenges we face on the fireground.

After the drill, members gathered back at Engine 2 for food and a critique of operations to review what went well and what we can continue to improve on.

Thank you to the Elmont Fire District for the use of their training facility and their continued support of firefighter training.

Strong leadership means investing in training and preparation. Ex-Captain Grogan remains committed to keeping our members ready and our community protected.
