Rescue Training
| Lt George Amen acquired a house that was destined for demolition and turned it into an excellent training opportunity for
all 3 shifts. Each of the shifts and companies ran drills that involved a missing firefighter or child that was trapped in
the burning house (simulated burn). Lt Amen smoked the house up good and conditions were realistic, including hot thanks to our recent
spate of hot weather. Even when it's a exercise, when a Mayday goes out from a fellow firefighter,
pilo erectus ensues and the crews take the training very seriously! |
NBFD FF's Guts for Old Glory!
See how NBFD Firefighters honored veterans and those who fought, were imprisoned, and for those who lost their lives battling for freedom at Bataan by participating in a long marathon size trek through the sands of New Mexico! Engineer Robert Garcia, Engineer Eric
Wyatt, and Firefighters Glen McWilliams and Nathan Dekens traveled to take on the "Bataan Death March". The full storey and more pictures or their trip
as told by Engineer Robert Garcia is here!
River Refreshing
| C-Shift's Lt Garrick Herbert is refreshing his entire shift's river skills a station at a time in preparation for summer!
Garrick put together a lesson plan and has been working with each station to ensure continuity. The training is a full day.
B-Shift has all their stations scheduled for the training by Lt Jack Ward. The training is good review for most
NBFD firefighters but helps bring our newer employees up to speed as well. Some of the skills covered include in water spinal immobilization,
removal from tubes onto the backboard, boat handling practices, live bait drills and low water crossing techniques. Click on each picture
above to see it enlarged. Photos thanks to Lt Greg Guenther and FF Ryan Luersen. |
