This morning we took advantage of some nice weather before the big storm to do some pump training. We took Squad 2 and Truck 8 down to Hannaford and plugged into one of the nearby hydrants. Captain Balentine and Lieutenant Hilton showed newly hired Firefighter Jon Gay and Firefighter Josh Allen the basics of Squad 2’s and Truck 8’s pumps. Jon Gay is putting a lot of time in this week to complete his training on Squad 2 before he starts his first shift as a full-time employee. Once he is settled in, he will move on to Engine 4 and Tank 4, going through our Driver Training program in reverse. Josh Allen is almost completed with his required training on Truck 8, which means he only has one more truck to train on (Squad 2) before he is complete with our Driver Training program. Firefighters Mac Poulin and Mike Combra assisted us.
