The Fire Division meets as a whole on each Tuesday. The first Tuesday following the first Monday is the monthly business meeting. The second and third Tuesdays of the month are drill nights, and the fourth Tuesday is clean up. There are morning drills for those who cannot attend night drills. Morning drills are from 0900 to 1100 hours and night hours are 1830 to 2030 hours. Drills range from SCBA, to ladders, to disaster, to arson training, and anything else that would better educate and give hands-on experience to the firefighters. Clean-up on the fourth Tuesday is the time the department makes sure that all the vehicles and the equipment on them are in good working order. This is also done after every fire response. 

Heavy Rescue Training - This group drills on the second Monday of the month. They train  on extrication using a variety of equipment including air bags, high rise jacks, electric  powered, air powered and hydraulic tools. They train on extrications from cars, buses, vans and other vehicles.
