Eastside Fire - RIC Training This Month!

The first week fo RIC (Rapid Intervention Crew) training was completed last week and will continue through November.  Next month we begin multi-company operations training on the donated burn house behind the Sammamish Library.  the multi-company operations training presents realistic challenges to the officers and firefighters in a safe and controlled environment.  the training also provides opportunities to evaluate overall performance, crew team work, and the efficiency and limitations of equipment and apparatus.  Crews drill on communications, size-up, apparatus positioning, pumping procedures, hose lays, and command procedures.  All are critical components of the training that helps firefighters work together, build trust, and maintain a standard of overall consistency in the organization.
