Another busy day at NCFS! Although no students were present, it doesn’t mean we don’t think about them and their training! Part of the day was building this prop to simulate breaching dry wall for fire extension exercises and maneuvering through studded walls with full P.P.E. On! We look forward to class this coming Thursday! Time was also spent on upkeep of the training grounds.

This past week instructors from NCFS were fortunate to deliver a successful Industrial Fire Brigade class for Victaulic Company (PA,NJ) and Globe Sprinkler Company (MI). Over the course of three days students learned about various aspects of industrial fire fighting. The students worked hard and set the bar high! They learned and practiced as much as they could to facilitate the needs of their respective employers. Thank you to the participants and companies involved for giving us at NCFS the chance to teach your personnel.

Just a snippet from the last few days of training Northampton County Corrections Officers. These men and women enrolled in the Fire Brigade program to expand their knowledge and practical skill sets as initial responders to fire/rescue type incidents within the prison. Stay tuned as they round out the weeks long training at NCFS!

This past weekend students learned about replacing burst hose-lines, maneuvers with 1.75 and 2.5 hose-lines, along with operating hose-lines off a ladder!
