Nova Scotia Fire Fighters Ready to Use New Training Apparatus

December 3, 2010 – Cape Breton, NS Local 2779 fire fighters are scheduled to begin Fire Fighter II recertification training on a new mobile training unit designed by ProSafe Fire Training Systems, Inc.

The Cape Breton Regional Fire Service bought the unit so that its fire fighters could receive life-like, live-burn experience training in a controlled environment. “This will be a great tool for our veteran fire fighters, as well as our new recruits,” says Local 2779 President Jody Wrathall.

Wrathall and fellow Local 2779 members Paul Ferguson and Dave Boudreau all received training on mobile training unit operations and maintenance. All fire fighters are expected to use the apparatus for Fire fighter II training in the coming year.
