Low Angle Rescue:

> Every Tuesday night with the exception of holidays, the fire department has weekly Fire and EMS training to keep up with state training hour requirements. Low angle rescue is an Emergency that EVFD rarely responds to but must train for. We practice bring a patient up and down steeper inclines and how to keep from compromising a patients neck and back injuries.

Burn to Learn:

     EVFD conducted a burn to learn on June 12th at 5204 East Evans Creek road. Once or twice a year the fire department acquires a abandoned home or home that is scheduled for demolition for training. Home owners donate the structure for use to burn and get some of the best hands on training that there is in the fire service. Donated structures may qualify for a charitable tax deduction. Contact your tax preparer for more information. Firefighters practice Search and Rescue techniques, extinguishment methods, protection of exposures, and many other valuable training tasks. Home owners are encouraged to consider the donation of their abandoned structure if the are planning to demolish the house. Call the fire station for details. We are unable to commence burns during fire season due to fire danger.Low Angle Pictures Every Tuesday night with the exception of holidays, the fire department has weekly Fire and EMS training to keep up with state training hour requirements.

Joint Drill: Apparatus Familiarization

     In larger fires, sometimes more than one fire district is dispatched.
     When seconds count, it is important that everyone is familiar with the specific equipment that neighboring departments have and where they are located on their vehicles.
