HFPD Conducts Ice Rescue Training    Members of HFPD participated in ice rescue training throughout the month of January.  Every full-time member of the HFPD will be trained to the Ice Rescue Specialist level.  The training covers how to rescue a person who has fallen through the ice.

HFPD Conducts Hotel Fire Training    HFPD and PPFD members conducted training on hotel fires at the Airport Inn in Erlanger.  The hotel is slated to be demolished and was donated to the fire department for use in training.  Members practiced forcible entry, high rise, and laddering operations.  Having this building is a unique opportunity to practice skills that we are usually unable to practice on an actual hotel.

HFPD Conducts Air Bag Training    HFPD members trained on the use of airbags for extrication use.  Members simulated that a car had fallen off of a jack and onto a person and used the airbags to raise the vehicle off of the victim.  HFPD carries several different kinds and sizes of airbags for different uses in extrication of a victim from a vehicle or machine.

HFPD Conducts Live Burn Training    HFPD members conducted live burn training on Monday March 26, 2007.  Members of A shift and several volunteers did several evolutions.  On the final burn we let the house burn to the ground to get rid of it for a future industrial park.  Thanks to the Paul Hemmer Construction Company for providing the house to us to use for this valuable training.

HFPD Members Participate in TRT Ice Rescue Training    Members of HFPD along with Erlanger and Point Pleasant fire departments participated in Ice Rescue Training on Feb. 10, 2007 at Doe Run Lake, in Erlanger.  The training was hosted by the Northern Kentucky Technical Rescue Team, which several HFPD personnel are members of.  The training was instructed by AO/Emt Craig Smith and was meant to be a refresher since most members are already certified.  The training was very similar to the recent training of the BCSWRT in Hebron.  The BCSWRT works with NKTRT for water rescues.

HFPD Conducts Live Fire Training    Members of HFPD used an acquired house on Langley Blvd. to conduct live fire training.  Several trainings have already been held at the house.  This training deals with setting an actual house on fire, in a controlled manner, to give firefighters actual firefighting training.  Point Pleasant and Petersburg fire departments have also participated in training at this house.

Boone County Swift Water Rescue Team Holds Training   Members of HFPD and other Boone County departments participated in training for the new Boone County Swift Water Rescue Team.  The training this month was Ice Rescue and was held at a lake at HK Systems in Hebron.  The team consists of members of HFPD and other area departments and responds to swift water and ice rescue incidents.

HFPD Hosts Hazmat Technician Course 2006 - Sixteen students from nine different agencies throughout Northern Kentucky attended a forty-hour Hazmat Technician course at Hebron Station 1 from June 12th through June 16th.  Three of the students were from two different law enforcement agencies.  This course consists of training the participants to contain, control, and identify hazardous material spills and leaks.  The course was sponsored by the Northern Kentucky WMD/Hazardous Materials Response Unit and Boone County Emergency Management and was instructed by BCEM Deputy Director and HFPD Lt. Bill Fletcher.
