Pumped up
Members of the Romulus Fire Department recently completed an intensive two-day Pump Operations class. The hands-on training utilized the new $1 million fire engine, giving personnel the opportunity to gain real world experience with the latest equipment and technology, officials said. “About 80 percent of department firefighters is now qualified to operate fire engines, significantly enhancing our operational readiness and response capabilities,” they added. The classes were led by instructor John Smilnak who guided the firefighters through the training. “We’re proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our firefighters as they continue to sharpen their skills and grow as professionals. Training like this ensures we’re always prepared when our community needs us most,” officials said in a prepared statement.
