Supporting Firefighter Training in Bourne

The Cape Cod Center for Public Safety Training, a program of Barnstable County, recently worked with the Bourne Fire Department to help train a new firefighter to meet required minimum standards to serve the Town of Bourne.

Firefighters participate in a training briefing prior to a live-fire vehicle evolution conducted in coordination with the Cape Cod Center for Public Safety Training.

Training is absolutely critical for new firefighters it’s the foundation that keeps them, their crew, and the public safe. Firefighting is a high-risk profession where mistakes can have serious or fatal consequences, and good training dramatically reduces those risks.

Firefighters don’t work alone. Training instills, crew coordination, radio discipline, trust in fellow firefighters.
