Congratulations to FF Jackson for passing his MOD-B course. This now allows him to operationally use breathing apparatus utilising #HIWFRS procedures to fight fires offensively and defensively to save lives and minimise property damage when called upon. #alwaysprepared#oncall
Bordon development firefighters went to @Cosham23 yesterday to cover #hazmat procedures, decontamination, donning & doffing chemical protective clothing. @PHEHdevschool arranged a hazmat scenario which was very insightful for operational readiness.
