Volunteer Hose Company: Probie Preparation Training

When a firefighter joins the department, they are placed on probation and called probies.


For the past 4 months, the officers and members, led by FF Bruce Chisolm, have been meeting every Saturday morning to teach the probies the basics, from donning their protective gear, their air pack, hand tools, truck familiarization, hose line stretches, search and rescue tactics, and much more.

Last Saturday, 5 probies put their newly acquired knowledge to the test in an in-house training evolution.


This all to ensure when they go through the probie academy at the RC Fire Training Center, they come in with a basic working knowledge and are prepared to enhance their skills as they work to become certified.
