Community Update 🚒🔥
Fire training doesn't always go exactly as planned, and that's okay. Last night we were scheduled to conduct our Draeger Live Car Fire training, but due to some unexpected technical issues with the prop, we had to pivot our training plan.
Instead, our Paid-On-Call members focused on ladder training and propane emergency shut-off operations. One of the great things about the fire service is that there is never a shortage of important skills to learn and maintain. We're fortunate to have access to a variety of training props that allow us to adapt and continue building the knowledge and abilities our members need to serve our community safely and effectively.
Our members are required to complete annual practical skills assessments that meet the standards established by the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC), WorkSafeBC, and NFPA. Ongoing training ensures our firefighters remain prepared for the wide range of emergencies they may encounter.
This weekend, four of our members will be attending Live Fire I training at Otter Point. They have worked hard preparing for this opportunity, and we know they will gain valuable hands-on experience while continuing to develop their firefighting skills.
Strong work by all our LCFD Paid-On-Call members for their dedication, flexibility, and commitment to training. Your community appreciates the time and effort you invest to be ready when called upon.
Stay safe, and good luck to our members heading to Otter Point this weekend! 🚒💪
