Company Training

The Spring Mill Fire Company holds it's firefighters accountable to a high level of training.  More than three quarters of our firefighters are recognized as Certified Professional Firefighters by the National Fire Academy at the Fire Service Professional level.

The purpose of this program is to identify and recognize emergency service personnel whose accomplishments in training and education meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards.  The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards for Fire Service   Professional Qualifications identify the minimum requirements for a person at a particular level of progression.  A person certified to one of the Fire Service Professional levels will have demonstrated competency in the knowledge and skills required to perform at a particular level.  The service that can be offered to the citizens and communities of the Commonwealth will be enhanced by the professional competency attained through this certification process.

Along with this high level of training the Spring Mill Fire Company is one of a few fire companies in the County who are a certified FAST Team (Firefighter Assistance & Search Team) or RIT (Rapid Intervention Team).  This special team is designed to respond to any emergency where a firefighter could become trapped inside of a burning structure.  It would be this teams sole responsibility to then attempt to locate and remove the trapped firefighter/s.
