TRAINING <br />The training program at Centennial Fire is a very important part of our <br />activities. It allows us to stay proficient at our job and also comply with <br />regulations from OSHA. <br />Our normal in house training program provides the major portion of our <br />training and those training sessions are held the first and third Tuesday of <br />each month. A session is held at 9:00 AM and another on 7:00 PM on these <br />days. This allows both our day and night people to attend the sessions. <br />The firefighters are required to attend at least one drill each month. <br />During 1994, we conducted lasses covering the following: <br />Self Contained Breathing Apparatus <br />Natural Gas Systems - Minnegasco <br />Electrical Safety - NSP <br />Medical Emergencies <br />Incident Command <br />Pumper Operation <br />Search and Rescue <br />Ventilation <br />Car Fires <br />Defibrillator Recertification <br />CPR Recertification <br />Hazardous Materials <br />In addition to our regular training, some of the members participated in <br />special water rescue drills. <br />The courses taken outside of the department consisted of the State Fire <br />School and several special seminars. <br />The department also participated in two mutual aid drills with our <br />neighboring departments. This is a requirement of one of the mutual aid <br />agreements. <br />All of the Centennial Firefighters are State Certified Firefighters and certified <br />for Medical response by the Minnesota Health Department. <br />Page 6 <br />
