When we retire a pack from service, we then use it for training such as ff drags. We don't receive a lot of funds from the town so we can not afford to damage the newer ones.

Thanks Steve I forgot to mention the State Academy. MA does offer FO1 for Lieutenants and FO2 for Captains and above. I took the FO1 class and it was very helpful with the leadership area. Now I have to move on to Fire Instructor 1.

How are you?
I am a Firefighter/EMT and recent graduate from the Fire Academy at IRSC. I grew up making music and since I am still on the hunt for a fire job, I found myself inspired to make Firefighter Tribute Songs to honor this amazing industry. Here is a link to my website where you can hear and see my songs and videos. I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you and God bless.
