“Enormous thanks to New Bedford Fire Department for the use of their Live Fire Prop and the staffing they provided for the Acushnet Fire & EMS Department to participate in live fire training evolutions!
The training provided gave valuable insight and practice to our members to keep our skills sharp! The videos attached show the technology available to us for searching under low light and smoke conditions to make our job more effective and safer! The videos were taken by NBFD to show progress and effectiveness of operations!
Thank you to the three members of @local841 who took the time on a Saturday morning to provide this valuable training to us!”-Acushnet Fire & EMS Department.

Another great reason for a “Bristol County Fire & Rescue”! With reduced manpower and budgets, coordination of resources makes sense. Small departments simply do not have the resources to provide proper safety training for rescuers. Larger departments still need mutual aid from anywhere! No city or town would like to give up control of a fire department so what’s it going to take, a major loss of life or major incident where the excuses start flying?
