The Randolph Fire Department prides itself on being able to respond to any type of emergency when the need arises. During these responses, we strive to perform as a well-trained and professional organization to mitigate any situation that we may be faced with. In order to do this, we must participate in several types of training on a regular basis. Training may consist of reviewing new topics, annual refresher training, in-service training, and occupancy review inspections, just to mention a few.
Primarily, all of our training takes place while members are on duty and must be ready to respond. Therefore, we have recently taken a closer look at our training program to see what we can improve upon. Over the past year, we have been developing a program that has been broken into modules. These modules can be delivered at both the group and company level in both a classroom and a practical setting. We have found that these modules afford shift officers the ability to practice skills on a regular basis, covering some of the skills listed below in addition to dealing with day-to-day operations of the department:
Group 1 and Group 3 vehicle extrication training at C & L Towing located at 298 North Street.
Group 3 Ice Rescue Training
Group 3 conducting ventilation training on a soon to be demolished house on North Main Street.
