At yesterday evening’s Center Fire Company drill, members took advantage of the nice weather to sharpen their pumping skills. Training included hydrant operations, filling tankers, and drafting from a portable pond.

Regularly practicing basic fireground operations helps keep our skills sharp and our crews ready for any emergency.

Today at approximately 4:13 PM, the Oxford Fire Department was dispatched to a garden tractor fire on Oakwood Drive.

With fall cleanup underway, we would like to remind residents to use extra caution when mowing or using lawn equipment around dry leaves. Leaves and other debris can accumulate around the mower deck and engine area, creating a potential fire hazard.

Engine 42 and Car 1 responded to the incident.

Today, members of the Oxford Fire Department completed Day 2 of hands-on training in the Principles of Lifting and Stabilization course led by Connecticut Custom Fire Training.

Firefighters put their training to work as instructors presented a variety of scenarios that allowed them to use the knowledge and skills developed during the classroom session and two days of hands-on training.

A huge thank you to Connecticut Custom Fire Training, Guerrea Construction, Oxford Public Works, and Hilarios Towing for providing the time, equipment, and support that made this training possible.

In September, Oxford Fire Department members completed classroom training on the principles of lifting and stabilization with Connecticut Custom Fire Training. Yesterday, firefighters took that knowledge into the field for Day 1 of two days of hands-on training.

Realistic rescue scenarios gave our members the opportunity to practice using a variety of tools and techniques to safely lift, stabilize, and rescue victims.

A training of this scale takes a team effort. A big thank you to Connecticut Custom Fire Training, Guerrea Construction, Oxford Public Works, and Hilarios Towing for their time, equipment, and support.

This week, members of the Oxford Fire Department’s Center, Quaker Farms, and Riverside companies, along with the Oxford Fire Marshal’s Office, spent time with students at Quaker Farms School and Great Oak Elementary School for Fire Prevention Safety Day.

Students learned about fire prevention, the importance of working smoke detectors, electrical safety, and why every family should have an escape plan and a designated meeting place. A great day of learning and an important reminder that fire safety starts at home!
