Tonight, THFD firefighters put our new burn tower to work, training on one of the most critical skills in the fire service: search and rescue operations.

Members practiced conducting primary and secondary searches in a realistic, low-visibility environment, focusing on search techniques, firefighter communication, teamwork, and victim location. The new burn tower provides an excellent opportunity for our firefighters to train in conditions that closely mimic real-world incidents while staying close to home.

Having this training facility in our district allows us to provide more frequent, high-quality training to our members, helping ensure they are prepared when our community needs them most.

Interested in serving your community? THFD is always looking for dedicated volunteers to join our team. If you’re 16 years of age or older and want to make a difference, contact us today to learn more about becoming a volunteer firefighter. 🚒🔥

Some amazing photos were captured of our apparatus at yesterday’s Memorial Day parade. Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We are proud to take part in this tradition each year and represent our community alongside so many others who continue to serve. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the parade and help remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Tonight, members of the THFPD trained on essential engine company operations, sharpening the skills that keep our crews efficient and our community protected. Firefighters spent the evening working hands-on with apparatus pumping procedures, focusing on maintaining proper pressures and ensuring a steady, reliable water supply during fireground operations.

Crews also practiced making hydrant connections, emphasizing quick and efficient hookups to establish a solid water source under real-world conditions. From there, firefighters advanced handlines and flowed water, reinforcing nozzle control, communication, and teamwork while operating under pressure.

Training like this is critical to staying prepared for the calls we face. Whether it’s a structure fire or a mutual aid response, these skills ensure we’re ready to perform safely and effectively when it matters most.
