First Aid Class

Training for Monday, February 1st at 1830 hrs. is first aid.

Captain Diane Delano, from Poland Fire and Rescue, will be the instructor for this first aid certification class. The class will focus on the non-licensed personnel who want to have a very basic knowledge of first aid. Would you know what to do if someone cut their hand and only you were there to help? If you're not 100% sure, then this class is for you. We do need an exact head count in order to get class materials, so please RSVP by January 18th at 12-noon to Car 5 by either email or text.

Annual CPR class

Training for Monday, January 25th will be our annual CPR and AED training. This is open to Fire and Rescue; it will serve as a refresher course for those who have taken this training before, and also will serve the needs of those who need first-time CPR certification.

IMPORTANT-

Firefighters-this class is a prerequisite for our upcoming first aid class. In order to receive your certification in the first aid class, you need to be CPR certified.

Your instructors will be Deputy Chief Rich and Lt. Bryant.

Cold Water Rescue Training

Raymond Fire and Rescue is hosting a 2-day Cold Water Rescue Training.

• Wednesday, January 20th at 1830 (classroom portion)
• Saturday, January 23rd at 0900 (full-day, hands-on)

Instructing the class will be Joe Mokry of Ocean Rescue Systems.

This is a specialized, technical rescue class that we would ask only those that are committed to utilizing, and upkeeping the needed skills by attending refresher classes, to attend. This is a hands-on class; you will be suiting up and getting in the water. There are no prerequisites or experience needed to attend this class, however I will need an exact head count by Monday, January 17th at 1200. Please respond by e-mail or text to Capt. St.Pierre. This deadline for RSVP's is very important, please do not delay.

Building Construction

Training for Monday, January 11th will be Building Construction. This is an important class, especially for those of us who do not work in, or around, that industry. We, as fire fighters, need to know building construction to identify hidden dangers, ways fire can travel, and aid offensive and defensive measures. To know the different building types by sight is a great advantage too. Hope to see you all there!

Your instructor will be Lt. Bartlett.

Please read chapter 6 of your J&B book prior to class.
