The Hamilton County Professional Fire Fighters Local 4416 and Carmel Professional Fire Fighters Local 4444 hosted Fire Ops 101 on Oct. 1 at the Hamilton County Training Center.
Local leaders and decision makers participated in a variety of controlled, but realistic, scenarios that demonstrated the typical functions necessary to resolve fire and emergency medical incidents. These scenarios included mid-rise building operations, vehicle extrication, cardiac arrest, and a live fire training exercise. Fire fighters guided participants through each scenario while answering questions about the activities and the fire service.
Local 4416 and Local 4444 thank their members who volunteered their time at the event. Thank to the Carmel Fire Department, Cicero Fire Department, Fishers Fire Department, Fishers Fire Corps, Jackson Township Fire Department Hamilton County, Noblesville Fire Department, Sheridan Fire Department, and Westfield Fire Department for their support and resources.
Thanks to Paddack’s Wrecker & Heavy Transport for providing cars for vehicle extrication.
Lastly, thank you to the participants for taking time on a Saturday to learn more about what fire fighters, paramedics, and EMTs are doing in Hamilton County to make local communities safer.
