Know Your Apparatus!

November 6, 2024 in What We're Up To

KNOW YOUR APPARATUS:

Knowing your tools as a firefighter is a major positive, and that certainly extends to our apparatus. Knowing both the capabilities and limitations of the engine, truck, or rescue enables us to make calculated and informed decisions under pressure. That starts on the training ground. B-Shift Firefighters Erik Stalzer, Steven Beckwith, and a member of the West Shore Fire District analyzed our Engine 21 during a joint training at the New Haven Fire School. Committed to deepening our knowledge, we study our fleet so that in actual emergencies, knowing where our equipment is second nature.
