BMFD B-Shift Training

Your BMFD B-Shift crews assisted with an acquired-structure live burn this past Saturday, gaining valuable hands-on experience in realistic fire conditions.

Training opportunities like these are essential for sharpening skills, reinforcing safety practices, and preparing our firefighters for the challenges they face in the field. We appreciate the crews who continue to invest their time and effort into staying prepared and serving our community.

Training is a valuable asset that should never stop! 🚒

Continuous Training. Operational Excellence.

Members of the Black Mountain Fire Department C Shift attended Thermal Imaging training again last weekend at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College,reinforcing our commitment to maintaining proficiency with this valuable firefighting tool.

Thermal imaging cameras are critical for locating hidden fire, identifying hot spots, and improving firefighter safety during emergency operations. Like any essential tool, their effectiveness depends on regular training, practice, and refresher courses.

Training is an investment in our people, our operational readiness, and the safety of the community we serve. At BMFD, the commitment to learning and improving never stops.

PSA: 🚒 Hydrant Maintenance Notice

Throughout the month of October, the BMFD will be conducting hydrant maintenance throughout the district.

No, I repeat — NO hydrant flushing will be taking place. This work is strictly maintenance to ensure these vital water supplies remain in good working condition.

Please use caution and be mindful of our crews as they work throughout the district.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we maintain these essential resources. 🚒💧

Additionally, the Public works department will be flushing hydrants as noted in their post.

This is a different operational need that the Fire Department isn’t assisting with, see the towns post for further. Apologies for any confusion!
