Bergholz Fire Company Trains Again With Advanced Firefighter Training
This past Thursday 9/23 our crews had the opportunity to train with Mark and Dennis of Advanced Firefighter Training.  The subject was "Bread and Butter Operations" which enabled our crews to practice what we would do responding to a residential structural fire.  We have had a few of our firefighters recently complete their Basic Firefighter course and they were able to put their newfound skills to use.  There was no live fire training and we utilized a non toxic smoke machine to give the effect of what a smoke filled atmosphere would be like.  Mark and Dennis worked with our crews on their skills.  Everyone had a great training time!
