This weekend some of our members participated in a two day training at an acquired structure hosted in neighboring Fluvanna County.

They practiced skills like Hose Line Advancement, Ladders, Search and Rescue, Vent Enter Search, Forcible Entry, and Firefighter Rescue and Survival.

The second day was comprised of live fire scenarios, and practicing some of the same skills in live fire conditions!

Our members constantly work to get better to serve the citizens of Louisa County!

Members from Company 1 made the most of the weekend, taking advantage of a quiet Louisa County, Virginia admin building to get in some PT and spend time catching up with our dispatchers. Always great to connect and keep sharpening our skills!

✅ Test each alarm in your home
✅ Replace batteries if needed
✅ Make sure you have alarms on every level and outside sleeping areas
