Fire Engine Driving – Training

Driving a fire engine, ladder truck, or ambulance is certainly not like riding a bike. You need continuous training to stay fresh on techniques and best practices for maneuvering such large vehicles. Recently, we started training our firefighter/paramedics using virtual reality equipment that simulates what driving these vehicles would be like. Investing time and equipment into this resource allows our employees additional practice before answering an emergency call. Want to learn more about what we do?
