On Friday March 2nd and Saturday March 3rd, 5 members of NVFC took Ice Water Rescue class at the fire station.  On Saturday they took a trip to Worth County Lake, donned their rescue suits and slipped into the water for practical exercises.  It was a great learning experience and they are now Ice Rescue Specialists along with 3 other members of NVFC.  Below are photo's of the training at the lake.

On the weekend of February 25th, 5 members participated in the 88th annual Fire School and skills weekend in Ames Iowa.  Firefighting skills, water rescue, and leadership classes were on tap.  It was a great learning experience and also gave the attendees the opportunity to interact with other departments.

Reviewing 2011, it is quite remarkable the amount of hours we dedicated to training this year!  While the bulk of our training was for EMT and Firefighter I certification we also had our regular training sessions.  All in all we had over 2537 man hours in training!!!!  1216 EMT training man hours,  840 Firefighter I training man hours and 481 scheduled departmental training man hours!!
