Training

Training of the Haw River Fire Department provides firefighters with constant operational training. Firefighters receive a variety of general training courses including driver operator training, SCBA, equipment, general firefighter practices, natural gas emergencies, and hazmat situations just to name a few.

Our firefighters also get ocassional training on subjects such as homeland security classes through FEMA, some of which are now required for all firefighters, arson investigation, gang related incidents, and landing zone operations for helicopter transport.

Live Burn training is also conducted whenever we get the opportunity. There is no better way for new recruits to get actual on the scene training under controlled situations, not to mention the fact that even old veterans are in a never ending learning process.

Training is never complete for a firefighter! New technologies and methods of operation create a constant need for training, whether in the classroom or on the fireground. Below you can link to just a few pictures of some of our training.
