A huge thank you to Pymatuning Valley School District for allowing our fire department to use your buses for training! We truly appreciate your continued support of our firefighters and our community.

For this training, our firefighters utilized the buses for SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) training, giving our members valuable hands-on experience in a realistic environment.

Training like this helps prepare our firefighters for the challenging situations they may encounter on an actual emergency call.

Thank you again, Pymatuning Valley Schools, for supporting our department and helping us stay prepared!
