City of Dalton Fire Department

Members of A Shift spent their Sunday morning working on skills, brushing up on equipment, and reviewing procedures needed to rescue patients from confined spaces. The more realistic we can make our training scenarios, the more prepared we are for the challenges that real-world emergencies throw at us!

Dalton Fire Department and Dalton Police Department Honor Guard presented the colors at last nights Christian Heritage football game. A special thank you to CHS for honoring first responders at last nights game.

Dalton Fire Department Special Operations Team members participated in Technical Rescue Training to perform a mock rescue of a injured worker from a high angle type of scenario.

This cooler weather has been the perfect backdrop for our annual Confined Space Rescue training. Each of our 3 shifts spent a day practicing with the tools we use for removing patients from hazardous confined space environments. Crews then put their skills to the test in scenarios that required critical thinking, teamwork, and the use of specialized rescue equipment. Enjoy the pics of our firefighters hard at work!

Congratulations to Dalton Firefighter Andrew Osuch and all of class 30 for graduating the Georgia Flames Program. The class started with 24 candidates Friday evening and finished Sunday with 7 graduates.. Well done to all!
