On Sunday, May 4th, 2025, at approximately 9:00 a.m., the Suffolk County Junior Firefighters Association conducted a hands-on training exercise for railroad emergencies. The training was held at the Ronkonkoma Train Station, located at 1100 Railroad Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY. Juniors participated in group activities with other departments to foster greater collaboration and camaraderie amongst members. The training consisted of an external examination of the train, including its sides, underside, and front. Additionally, juniors had the opportunity to board the train and observe the seating arrangements and the conductor's cabin. Furthermore, juniors received information on the various tasks and objectives associated with different railroad occupations. About 80 junior firefighters and 15 advisors attended. Appreciation is extended to all attendees; we look forward to their participation in future events and training sessions!
