| This weekend, 20 members of the Lititz Fire Co. completed 16 hours of hands-on training at two (2) acquired structures on South Cedar Street. The vacant single family homes were to be demolished by the Trinity EC Church to make room for new development. The Lititz Fire Co. is very grateful for the excellent training opportunity made possible by the generosity and cooperation of the congregation of the Trinity EC Church.
To take advantage of the rare opportunity of having an actual structure on which to practice techniques and mechanics, the Lititz Fire Co. once again utilized instructors from Traditions Training. Traditions Training is composed of fire department veterans from around the country, including the Washington, D.C. metro area and City of New York. The instructors come from some of the busiest and most respected fire departments in the country and bring knowledge and skills that cannot be found anywhere else. Classes are often taught with instructors from various departments, allowing the students to draw information from a variety of sources and backgrounds simultaneously. This is the third year in a row that the Lititz Fire Co. has conducted a weekend training exercise taught by instructors from Traditions Training. |
