Firefighter recruits in Rockland County are hard at work, advancing their training and gaining the hands-on experience needed to protect and serve the community.

One critical skill the recruits practiced recently is hose stretching, a vital technique that ensures they can efficiently deploy water to a fire scene. This training emphasizes speed and precision, preparing recruits for the real-life challenges they’ll face in emergencies.

Hose stretching is just one of the many exercises these future firefighters are mastering as they progress through their rigorous education and fieldwork. The Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services team has expressed pride in the dedication and commitment shown by the recruits, noting their efforts as a step toward becoming the heroes of tomorrow.
