That is not including the hours we spend annually re-certifying in courses such as... CPR/First Aid, Vanessa K. Free, Vehicle Extrication, etc. Our Firefighters are all trained to State FF II level. Many members are Licensed Medical Responders that have Continued Education Points to obtain. Much is required of our members, but all are willing to dedicate their time for our town and neighbors.
