Cy-Fair VFD participates in 2 day Interior Fire Training

 

Cy-Fair VFD participated in a two day interior fire training at a home that was donated to the department. The home located on Tanner Rd on the east side of Cy-Fair’s district. The donated home was used for our department training and then burned down completely to be rebuilt at a later date.

 

The training was lead by District Chief Ricky Baker who coordinated the two day training with all the 11 stations within the department and also included neighboring fire department Jersey Village.  The days started early around 0700 and lasted till around 5:00 pm each day.  A few days before the training, Chief Baker along with some of the CFVFD Instructors and Safety Officers, meet to determine correct procedures which needed to be followed per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines for Fire Training in the United States.

 

After everything was ready to go, the training started on a cold and wet Saturday morning that brought out 6 stations for training and the rest of the stations would come on Sunday. 

 

For those that participated in this training, it is vital to our department and individuals to experience a “live”, but controlled fire, to enhance their team and individual skills while fighting an interior structure fire. Those that were there would especially like to thank our Rehab crew that showed up and supplied food, snacks, drinks and hot coffee for both days.
