C-shift was working on multi-task drills for driver training and running the new recruits through hose pulls

This past Saturday five of our new members attended JSQ. We conducted in-depth orientations at all three stations and included some station/life skills.

Students in our FADO class tested this weekend it was a little smoky, but they did great.

We had a great visit with the Anchorage Fire Explorers this week. We can’t wait until we have some come up and work with us as student firefighters.

Congratulations to Captain Ruth Church for receiving Company Officer of the Year and Deputy Fire Chief Daniel for receiving Chief Officer of the Year from the Interior Fire Chiefs Association. We are so proud to have them as part of our team. Great work!
