Another Amazing Year!
Firefighters from across the North Shore came together this year for a weekend filled with training, networking, and spirited competition.
The event showcased a range of valuable learning opportunities. Bullard led an insightful seminar on Thermal Imaging Cameras, highlighting their critical role in modern fireground operations. Firehouse Training presented an eye-opening session on the dangers associated with Lithium-Ion batteries, increasing awareness of emerging hazards. The Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) brought the Mobile Live Fire Training Unit (MLFTU), giving attendees the chance to engage in realistic, hands-on training scenarios. In addition, our very own Ryan and Bill delivered an informative session introducing participants to Auto Extrication Awareness, equipping them with foundational skills for vehicle-related incidents.
It was a weekend of collaboration, growth, and shared commitment to keeping our communities safe.
