Training

Each Willows Fire Department firefighters has a minimum of training hours that are required every month. These Training hours are completed with in-house drills that are held the first two Tuesdays or every month, and include:


  • Extrication
  • SCBA's
  • Medical
  • Structure fires (rescue, arrival drills, forcible entry, ventilation, RIT, ladders, extinguishment)
  • Vehicle Fires
  • Vegetation (Structure protection, fire shelters, fire behavior, extinguishment)
  • Rope and knots
  • Water rescue
  • Defensive driving
  • Haz-mat

The minimum requirements are exceeded with numerous training classes, which can range from 4 hours up to 40 hours of training. Most of this training is completed during the week in the evenings, or on the weekend. With all of the new equipment, technology and changes in the world, the fire service must constantly adapt to these changes; and we do this through our training.
