SAFETY & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Annual Training

Fire Rescue’s training program is developed in accordance with established federal, state, and local requirements as well as the ISO Fire Suppression Rating Schedule and National Fire Protection Association.

The pie chart below identifies the training disciplines which are covered in our training program. The cumulative training hours and percentage of the overall training hours (32,815) are depicted within the chart. Analyzing this information allows administrators to determine if the division is providing the correct amount of time in each of these disciplines. It also provides company officers with a big picture view of where and what they have been training on throughout the year.

Safety And Risk Management

The team works with other divisions within the Town to maintain individual safety training as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA). The division manages all types of risks that emergency services organizations will typically face. The Battalion Chief is a standing member of the Town’s Safety Committee and the direct liaison to the Fire Chief regarding safety concerns for Fire Rescue.
