FROM THE HORNELL FIRE DEPT UNION: Last month our members participated in live burn training at the Steuben County Training Facility in Bath. Each member must complete 100 hours of training each year. Training days like these help to accomplish this requirement. These training evolutions allow our members to train and refresh on the basics of working as a team, moving and operating hose lines, forcing entry, searching a structure, and removing victims. We were also able to train with some of our nearby volunteers, who very regularly assist us on structure fire calls within the city.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to Steuben County Emergency Services, South Hornell Fire Company, North Hornell Volunteer Fire Company, and Hammondsport Fire Department for their assistance with these training evolutions. We also thank the many individuals and businesses who donated the materials needed. And of course we thank our members who sacrificed one of their few weekends off to participate in this invaluable training.
