Earlier this month SMFD hosted our annual Jr Fire Academy. It was well attended and kids and staff had a great time learning and teaching about what it is like to be a firefighter.

This month SMFD conducted vehicle extrication and stabilization refreshers for all crews, focusing on the stabilization of side resting vehicles on even and uneven terrain. Excellent instruction and supervision was provided by the members of Station 1, which houses Engine 1 and Rescue 1. Special focus was given to strut placement and confidence building with the stabilization equipment. It was a great refresher and everyone took away valuable knowledge from the training to help better serve the citizens of San Marcos.

Another week down for our mini academy! This week was the start of the 2 week block of Engine Company training. Lots of flowing water and learning how to deploy and advance hoselines inside buildings. Some of the days were very cold and wet but everyone stayed positive and worked hard. We look forward to seeing them on shift very soon!

Our newest recruits are moving along quickly through their mini academy. This week they completed their rescue block of training, covering the basics of many types of rescue scenarios that could occur in our city, whether on the roads or in the rivers. The city provides many different challenges when it comes to technical rescue and our instructors make sure all our recruits have a solid foundation on the basics so that they can come on to shift ready to assist in any emergencies that could occur in the city. Stay tuned for more updates as they progress through the remainder of their training.
