Last weekend, I had the chance to attend another exciting training session held at 3761 Glen Eagle Drive in Woodstock. It was an incredible experience to see how firefighters hone their skills in controlled environments. If you missed my previous post about an earlier session, you can check it out HERE.
The training session provided a great opportunity for seasoned firefighters to mentor newer members, allowing them to experience real-world scenarios without the pressure of an actual emergency. Watching these professionals in action was both educational and inspiring.
I captured some amazing moments during the event, and here are just a few highlights:
