<br />Training, <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />The training of our personnel continues to be critical to the success of our firefighters in <br />the performance of their duties. The most important part of the training program is the <br />regular in-house training program which provides two training sessions each month for <br />the members. <br /> <br />Various organizations such as OSHA Rules and the National Fire Protection <br />Association set guidelines for our training. We continue to exceed these each year. <br />The subjects that are part of our training covers such things as basic firefighting, <br />hazardous materials, community preplanning, and medical response. We also <br />continue to train with our neighboring departments with whom we have mutual aid <br />agreements. <br /> <br />In addition to the regular in-house training, many of our members attend specialty <br />schools held elsewhere. These classes range from firefighting or medical specialties to <br />management level classes. <br /> <br />In an effort to better train the officers of our department, we hosted several <br />management classes which include three different classes on leadership. <br /> <br />As in the past, all of our firefighters are State Certified Firefighters and are certified for <br />Medical Response by the Minnesota Health Department. <br /> <br />~ <br />
