Today, 13 members of the TVFD, along with members of Glen Moore (48), Ludwig’s Corner (73), and Ridge (62) fire companies met up for our annual spring vegetation fire training. These fires include woods, brush, and field fires.
Crews from all the departments met at station 73 to do a briefing on the days events. Crews then traveled to a local property and did tool reviews, cut fire lines (which will be utilized as a new walking trail), setting up supply pumps and establishing water supply, and setting up progressive hose lines. Warden D. Groff discussed the training opportunities for these types of fires, and gave tips and advice to newer firefighters.

The TVFD would like to send a big THANK YOU!!!! to the neighboring chiefs, all the participating volunteer members, Warden D. Groff, and especially Lori at The Great Marsh Institute for the opportunity to use their property for training!!
