Nature: Fire School Training

Address: Delaware State Fire School - Georgetown Campus

On Wednesday evening, September 26th, 2012, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company attended the Delaware State Fire School – Georgetown Campus participated in basic firefighting evolutions with gas tank leaks, etc.

These trainings are intended to provide hands-on refresher training for experienced personnel in the area of Flammable Liquids and Gasses firefighting. It seeks to provide a source of practical firefighting not easily obtained on the plant site. 

Each firefighter must complete designated Delaware State Fire School training curricula as well as internal fire company specifications designed by the respective fire line operations. Some of these specifications are demonstrated in actual fire suppression tactics monitored during the simulated scenarios.

Approximately 20 members of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company participated at this training
