Our Junior Firefighters are staying busy!

This morning, we had the pleasure of welcoming Hope Valley Ambulance Squad Inc. to our station to give our junior members a hands-on look at their ambulances. Members learned about and operated equipment such as the stretcher, stair chair, and Reeves stretcher.

We then switched gears and trained with our hydraulic spreaders and cutters. To put their skills to the test, members took on a challenge to remove an egg from a cone using the spreaders without breaking it.

Great job to all who participated — your dedication and willingness to learn continues to impress us!

A huge thank you to Hope Valley Ambulance for taking the time to work with our junior members and sharing your knowledge with us. We truly appreciate your support and partnership! 🚒🚨🚑
