Cub Scout Visit

Events and Happenings /

Yesterday evening, Fire Rescue Company 1 had the privilege of hosting Cub Scout Troop 258 at our firehouse for a tour and demonstration. The scouts were given an overview of our apparatus and specialized rescue equipment followed by a vehicle extrication demonstration. Our firefighters showcased various techniques and tools used during these technical rescues. These educational opportunities allow us to connect with our community’s youth while providing valuable fire safety information. Co.1 would like to thank Troop 258 for their interest in the fire service and paying us a visit.

Live Burn At The Academy

Events and Happenings /

This morning, Co.1 firefighters along with our colleagues from Ramsey Rescue, Ramsey Fire, and Allendale Fire participated in live burn training at the Bergen Fire Academy. Taking time to train with our Mutual Aid partners allows us to work more efficiently on the fireground at large scale operations. We would like to thank our dedicated members, our partners from our Mutual Aid, and the academy instructors who gave up their Saturday morning to take part in the invaluable training. We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with these departments and days like today help strengthen those bonds.

Tower Ladder Operations

Events and Happenings /

For tonight’s drill, Co1 Firefighters practiced their skills drafting and pumping to a tower ladder. This is a difficult task because of the higher pressure required to push the water up the aerial, and in the case of Ramsey’s Tower 441, there was no onboard pump to assist. While our pump operators were practicing this other firefighter learned how to use and operate the ladder.  Thank you to our colleagues at Ramsey FD who allowed us to use their tower ladder and also Fire Co3 who assisted in the operation. Think you would like to join us? Stop by Wednesday nights at 730 or emails us at info@mfdco1.org
