Training sessions are conducted and documented daily. The training covers a wide variety of subject matter.
Those areas include:
Fire Department Organization, Safety, Communication and Alarms,
Fire Behavior, Extinguishers, Forcible Entry,
Ventilation, Fire Prevention, Fire Investigation,
Public Education, Building Construction, Building Preplans,
Fire Streams and Foam, Small Tool, Salvage and Overhaul,
Emergency Medical Service, Rescue, Water Supply,
Sprinklers, Hazardous Materials, Ladders,
Hose, Drivers Training, Fire Control,
Diving, Ropes and Knot,s Physical Fitness.
In an effort to provide as much realistic training as possible, the Addison Fire Department has a 4 story training facility available for use behind our station 2. The tower can be used to simulate many actual emergency scenarios. Some of these include:
Search and Rescue High Angle Rescue High Rise Operations
Confined Space Aerial Operation Live Fire Evolutions
Training sessions are generally done in a split fashion. This means about half of our personnel receive training in the morning and the second half receive their training in the afternoon. This allows for total coverage of our district. Each training session is approximately 2 hours long. This year the Addison Fire District logged over 10,000 training hours.
