🚒 Tuesday Training Night Recap 🚒
Last night, our senior members trained on pumping operations and the capabilities of our structure engine. Getting hands-on time to sharpen their skills and knowledge.

We also welcomed five newly qualified probationary firefighters, each of whom has officially and successfully completed the academy and their recruit tasks. 🎉 They’re now cleared to begin responding to calls, and we’re proud to have them stepping into service with us.

Bring your kiddos, their costumes, and their candy buckets! Starts at 4 PM and wraps up around 6 PM or when candy runs out! 🍬

🚒 Tuesday Training Night Recap 🚒
Training focused on sharpening our operational awareness with an After Action Review (AAR) of the vegetation fire from this past weekend in Gore Hill. For our newer members, it also served as an introduction to what an AAR is and how we use it to learn from real incidents.

Following the review, the crew moved into triage training through scenario discussion and presentation. Recruits and active members walked through call scenarios, reviewed rapid‑assessment principles, and reinforced clear communication practices that keep our crews effective on every call.

🚒 Tuesday Training Night Recap 🚒
Recruits and active members spent the evening sharpening communication fundamentals, starting with radio basics and closed‑loop communication. From there, they moved into size‑ups and fireground communications, building confidence in clear, effective on‑scene messaging.

To wrap up the night, everyone ran through a bunker gear and SCBA drill, reinforcing essential skills that keep firefighters safe and ready for any call.

🚒 Tuesday Night Training — Academy Update📚
Last night our academy recruits got hands‑on with the attack lines we use during fire attack from the engine. They spent the evening learning how we deploy these lines, focusing on solid technique, smart tactics, and the key steps that make hose pulls clean and effective.

It was a foundational night of training, and the recruits are picking things up quickly as they move deeper into engine operations.

Black Eagle Fire Department is proud to share some incredible news for our community. Earlier this year, Board Member and Grant Writer Sarah Wade submitted a grant application to Calumet to help fund repairs for our leaking water tender tanks. After reviewing the application, Calumet visited our new station, toured the apparatus bay, and saw firsthand the condition of the trucks in need of repair.

A short time later, Calumet reached back out requesting additional information. Sarah compiled everything they needed and continued working closely with their team throughout the process.

On the evening of September 17, BEFD representatives and board members attended a dinner hosted by Calumet, where the grant recipients would be announced. We are thrilled to share that the Black Eagle Firefighter’s Foundation was awarded a $50,000 grant dedicated to fixing our leaking trucks.

Sarah delivered a speech on behalf of the department and the foundation, expressing our gratitude and outlining how these repairs will directly strengthen our ability to serve the community.

We are beyond grateful for Calumet’s support, partnership, and investment in local emergency services. Their generosity will make a lasting impact on our department and the residents we proudly serve.

Thank you, Calumet, for being a true community neighbor.
