Stabilization Training Continued
3/30/2026
Last evening, members continued our vehicle stabilization training, this time focusing on techniques used when a vehicle is resting on its roof. Building off our previous drill, crews practiced proper strut placement, securing points, and maintaining a safe work environment for patient access and extrication in these more complex scenarios. This drill was led by Lieutenant Willis.
Ventilation Trianing
3/23/2026
On Monday, March 23, 2026, members of the Chestertown Volunteer Fire Company reported to the station for our regularly scheduled biweekly company training. This drill was led by Deputy Chief Russum and focused on ventilation techniques, specifically those that can be safely performed by members who have not yet completed Firefighter I, as well as the most commonly used ventilation methods on the fireground.
