The Concord Township Fire Department has a minimum requirement of a
two-hour drill each day. This has proven to benefit all of our
firefighters and our customers. We have reduced injuries and
increased teamwork within our ranks. Mandatory training includes one live fire
drill yearly, drivers training bi-yearly and yearly training at the
Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
During 2006, training and education encompassed EMS, preplanning, pump operation, driver training, hazmat, weapons of mass destruction, rapid intervention, officer leadership and practical evolutions which brought us over 11,000 hours of training and education. Joint training between East End Lake County Fire Departments - Concord Twp., Fairport, Grand River, Painesville City, Painesville Twp, Leroy Township, Perry Joint Fire District and Madison - was initiated in 2006. Trainings have included such things as discussion of fires and major alarms which utilized an automatic aid response, to fire ground tactics and new standard operating guidelines to be used by these departments jointly. 2007 Live Burn Training |
