This week members of South Salem FD conducted a hands-on vehicle fire training drill focused on basic fire attack and operational considerations encountered at motor vehicle fires. Members reviewed apparatus placement, hose line selection, approach considerations, and hazards commonly associated with modern vehicles.

Training evolutions allowed members to practice proper positioning and fire attack techniques while discussing scene size-up, exposure concerns, and overall incident management. Drills like these provide an opportunity to reinforce the fundamentals and ensure members remain proficient in handling incidents encountered on a regular basis.

Consistent training on basic skills helps build confidence, maintain proficiency, and ensure members are prepared when the call comes in. Looking to bring this to your agency, contact Josh and get the ball rollin
