🚒🔥 LIVE FIRE TRAINING & A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS! 🔥🚒

Yesterday, five members of the Port Matilda Volunteer Fire Company, including two Chiefs and three probationary firefighters, attended a live structure burn training session hosted by Citizens Hook & Ladder in Milesburg.

Live structure burn training provides firefighters with valuable, realistic experience in fire behavior, from the growth stages of a structure fire through suppression and extinguishment. This hands-on training helps prepare our members for the challenges they may face during an actual emergency.

Our three probationary firefighters, Mason French, DeAnn Kibe, and Darren Kibe, took full advantage of every training opportunity the structure allowed. All three did a fantastic job, showing dedication, teamwork, and a willingness to learn!

🏆 A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS TO FIREFIGHTER MASON FRENCH! 🏆

With the successful completion of his live fire training, Mason officially completed his probationary board requirements and is now a certified interior firefighter! 🚒🔥

Mason, your hard work, dedication, and commitment to the fire service have paid off. We are proud of your accomplishment and look forward to watching you continue to grow within Company 15!

A huge thank you to Citizens Hook & Ladder for the invitation and for providing this valuable training opportunity.

All the instructors that made this day happen we couldn’t do it without you.

Great job to all three probationary members for continuing to learn, train, and make Port Matilda proud! 💪🚒

🏃‍♂️🚒 Supporting Our Community! 🚑🏃‍♀️

Today, 5 of our members assisted with traffic control, while 3 of our members participated in and completed the 5K hosted by Port Matilda EMS, running and/or walking the course in full turnout gear! 💪🔥

A huge well done to the ladies and gentleman who took on the 5K! Completing 3.1 miles in turnout gear is no easy task, and your effort and determination were great to see.

Thank you as well to the members who helped keep everyone safe by assisting with traffic control.

Keep up the great work and keep making Port Matilda proud! 🚒❤️

Thank you to Port Matilda EMS for hosting the event!
