Clinton Fire Protection District- March 2025
As we move through the year, our crews have been hard at work responding to emergencies and sharpening their skills.

Their commitment and professionalism ensure that we are always prepared for whatever challenges may arise.

Your dedication and hard work make all the difference in keeping our community safe and secure.
March Trainings
03/05/25 - Big Water Movements
Firefighters participated in a vital training session focused on mastering critical water movement techniques. Utilizing a 2 ½” hoseline, a 3” blitz gun, and 2 ½” gated wye operations, members refined their ability to deliver large volumes of water efficiently. These tools and tactics play a crucial role in fire suppression efforts, particularly in combating structure and brush fires where rapid water deployment is essential. The hands-on training allowed participants to practice setting up and operating these systems under realistic conditions, reinforcing muscle memory and confidence in high-pressure situations.
03/12/25 - EMS – Common Respiratory Issues
EMS personnel dedicated this training session to recognizing and treating common respiratory emergencies, an essential skill set for emergency responders. The session covered a range of conditions, including asthma attacks, COPD exacerbations, severe allergic reactions, and respiratory distress linked to cardiac issues. Members practiced airway management techniques, oxygen administration, and the proper use of nebulizers and CPAP machines. Understanding early warning signs and intervening promptly can significantly impact patient outcomes, and this session provided valuable hands-on experience to enhance our team’s readiness.
Looking Ahead
Our firefighters and EMS providers continue to stay sharp, balancing emergency responses with ongoing education and hands-on training. Every drill, scenario, and learning opportunity ensures that we maintain the highest level of preparedness. As we look ahead, we remain committed to equipping our members with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect and serve our community effectively.
We encourage everyone to show their appreciation for the hardworking men and women who dedicate their time and energy to keeping us safe. If you see them out in the community, take a moment to thank them for their dedication and service. Their efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for all they do!
