The Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company strives to provide the best
training opporutnies to its members as possible. All members are required
to take the course Essentials of Firefighting within two years of joining
the fire company. |
The Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company has a good working relationship with
neighboring departments, and participates in monthly training sessions with members
from the Acosta, Boswell, and Jennerstown Fire Departments. |
With this arrangement each station takes turns hosting training sessions on topics
of their choice on the second Wednesday of each month at 1900 hrs. |
In 2004 the Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company hosted a series of three 16
hour classes to certify participating members as Vehicle Rescue Technicians through
the Pennsylvania Department of Health. |
Our station also hosts CPR/AED and HAZMAT operations level refresher
courses on a regular basis to keep members certified at these levels current with
their training. |
