Golden Fire-Rescue Local 5080

This week, 37 members from 12 departments in Colorado converged on the Golden area to attend the aerial operations academy. Visiting sites throughout the Golden and west Denver area, members worked on difficult aerial placement, perform elevated rescue operations, driving and maneuvering, building fire attack and rescue with the aerial device and demonstrate rope and rigging techniques. This class was 40 hours and very rigorous for members. We want to thank VentEnterSearch | Firefighter Training West Metro Prof. Firefighters ArvadaFire Local 5336 for the support and collaboration!
