Last night, our firefighters took part in a training session focused on building construction and flow paths, two critical components of modern fireground operations.

We began with a walkthrough of a new residential construction project, examining key building features,

The training continued with hands-on evolutions using our fire dynamics prop, where members demonstrated:
Flow path development and control
The importance of door control
Reading and interpreting the thermal imaging camera Identifying off-gassing and changing fire conditions

Hanover Fire pump operators trained last night on pump operations, tank placement, and drafting. These skills ensure reliable water supply in non-hydranted areas. Proud to hold Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation and be ready when it matters most.

Hanover Fire responded to a barn fire on Concession 2 SDR in West Grey on Dec 19 at 10:19 a.m. Crews worked with mutual aid partners to control the fire and prevent extension. One individual was assessed on scene for minor injuries. Structure is a total loss. See full text below.

We’re proud to share that the results were overwhelmingly successful. This speaks volumes about the dedication, professionalism, and passion our team brings to the department and to the communities we serve.

Last night was a busy night for Hanover Fire!
We had 22 dedicated members write a total of 42 NFPA exams, ranging from NFPA 1001 Firefighter II to NFPA 1006 Swiftwater Rescue Technician.

[Hanover Fire @hanoverfd]

These exams take significant time, study, and commitment — and our firefighters stepped up in a big way. They not only took time out of their busy schedules to prepare, but they put in the extra work to ensure they were ready.
