Pitt Community College Fire & Emergency Management

Our Eastern Division Firefighter I&II students were hard at work on forcible entry and tool practicals (Ops 4) this evening when we stopped by to check in. Practicals are always the fun evenings for many reasons. Most importantly, the team building between departments is the greatest benefit.

Our Western Division Series will be doing the same practicals next week.

Thank you to Eastern Pines Fire/Rescue and Farmville Fire Department for hosting our students.

Station Visit: Farmville Fire Department was busy last night as we attended their monthly station meeting. There is something special about holding meetings on benches in the truck bay—it is where the most genuine conversations take place and where you gain a clear understanding of where you are and the direction you need to go.

We met in the apparatus bays because they graciously provided their meeting room for our Western Series Firefighter I & II students. Both our Eastern and Western Series classes are currently covering Tools, Forcible Entry, and Loss Control, with strong student participation in each program.

During our visit, Johnny D Williams Sr., instructor for this portion of the series, was doing an outstanding job leading the class and engaging the students. We are grateful for the dedication of our instructors and the continued support of the departments throughout our service area.

Thank you to the Farmville Fire Department for your hospitality, partnership, and commitment to firefighter training.

Best wishes to Station 53!
