Firefighter I/II Class Great Success! |
| This year Van Buren Township Fire Department
hosted its second State of Indiana certified Firefighter I/II Class. The
class, which began on August 15th, was concluded with an awards ceremony
on December 14th at Edgewood High School Auditorium. Fourteen firefighters
from area departments including Bloomington Township, Ellettsville, Indian
Creek and Van Buren received their state certification after completing
nearly 170 hours of classroom and hands-on training, as well as the state
written exam. Hands-on training included the State of Indiana certified
Basic Auto Extrication class, live flashover training in Bloomington Township’s
simulator, along with a multitude of skills mandatory for every firefighter
to have knowledge in. The class was a success due largely in part to the
help of the17 instructors that were brought in from VBFD and area fire departments.
Van Buren Township Fire Department would like to thank all of those who
helped to make this Firefighter I/II class another success for all the departments
of Monroe County
