One of our wonderful residents in the Toney community has donated a very nice house to the department for training.  The house has two floors with multiple bedrooms.  TVFD has had two sessions so far.  The last training was at night using a burn barrel for smoke to simulate fire suppression and forcing entry through an exterior door.  TVFD will continue to train in the coming weeks ultimately burning the house down for the owner.  Thanks again for this unique opportunity for training.  

02/16/08 - Hose Testing and 5 inch Hose Training

Toney Volunteer Fire Dept. began testing our new 5" large diameter hose.  This hose was purchased through a federal grant and will replace our current hose which is 3" in diameter.  5" LDH will allow for a much greater amount of water use during fire operations.  Also, this was used as an opportunity to train firefighters in the use and characteristics of this size of hose and fittings.  TVFD will continue its training in the coming weeks with this hose as all of the engines are outfitted.
