Training Division - All firefighters participate
in an ongoing program of training to ensure that their
skills and knowledge are kept at a proficient level.
Regular sessions are held for volunteer firefighters
to ensure their skills are kept up to accepted standards.
All firefighters participate in an annual live fire
training which uses the Flashover Recognition Unit (jointly
purchased with the Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering
Fire Departments). This provides firefighters with a
first hand observation of fire evolution with a focus
on the flashover event which occurs when a build up
of heat reaches ignition temperature.
