Training 
Training is a critical discipline in the Fire Service. The better we train, the better we are to successfully complete our mission. Sharpening our skills helps assure that we all come home safely from every alarm.
We must always remember to take our training time seriously. Practice just as if it were the real deal. The life you save, just might be your own or that of your partner.
