🔥 USCG1 Fire Labs began last week. The first lab covers gear familiarization (fit, function, limitations and more) as well as mask fit tests to ensure students have a mask that fits correctly and will protect them when needed. Next week we move to the TSSOM for more hands on fire training!
And did you know? All of our fire training teaching assistants volunteer with Castine Fire Rescue Department! We appreciate their help in class and on calls in town!

Did you know Manager of Fire Training Lisa Marks Burton and Fire Instructor Lindsey Dale both volunteer for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation? As Advocates in the Until Everyone Goes Home program, they work to support the mission of reducing preventable line of duty deaths in the fire service. They spent 2 days at a brief, but highly impactful, Advocate Summit in Savannah, GA. The presentations, formal and informal discussions and connections with fire leaders from across the nation are so valuable and enable them to continually improve the MMA Fire Training program for undergrad students and industry professionals.

Shout out to Joel Behr! It's been a pleasure having you as part of our fire training program!

This morning Call Department member, Firefighter Joel Behr received The Coast Guard Commendation Medal for his role as Executive Petty Officer at the Southwest Harbor station. Among his accolades in his 3 years in that role are revitalizing the Heavy Weather program and piloting the 47 foot motor lifeboat. Under his leadership over 2 million dollars in property and 117 lives were saved. A hearty thank you to FF Behr for his efforts on the coast as well as his countless hours served at the Ellsworth Fire Department. Best of luck at your new station, your brothers and sister will miss you.

🔥🔥🔥More vessel familiarization - today for members of the MMA Fire training crew! Instructors Lindsey Dale, Pamela Perrigo Payson and Scott Helstrom got a safety brief and tour of the vessel from "Captain Mac" Gordon Mac MacArthur.
We are appreciative of the welcome our staff has received from the the ship's crew and look forward to training aboard the vessel with our students when the fall semester begins!
