Lexington City Council Gets a Taste of Firefighting

The Lexington Fire Department would like to thank the Lexington City council members who could attend this year’s Council Field Day. Field Day allows Lexington’s City Council members and theiraides to learn what we do hands-on. This year, attendees were able to rappel from the tower, extinguish a fire, cut up a car, watch an EMS scenario play out, and learn more about the Lexington Fire Department. And special thanks to the Training Academy, the Community Services Bureau, Community Paramedicine, ourFire and EMS crews, and ourLFD executive staff forhosting and organizing such a fun and educational event.

Training ForAll in Lexington

It is no easy task to get 500-plus firefighters on the same page, orin this case, in the same classroom. One of the ways we orchestrate training when we can’t get everyone to the same class is through instructional videos. Captain Chris Rudd of Rescue 1 and FirefighterFrank Handshoe from the Fire Training Academy filmed an elevatorrescue class beneficial to all firefighters and ourcommunity. - Photos courtesy of Lexington FD
