Clinton Fire Protection District Newsletter- July 2025
As we move through the heart of summer, our department continues to grow—both in numbers and in capability. July was a month of hands-on training, operational refinement, and major milestones, including preparations for the launch of our First Annual CFPD Fire Academy this August. Looking ahead, we’ll be shifting focus to engine company operations and embracing advanced training opportunities like our upcoming Mobile Pump Operator (MPO) course.
Search, VEIS & Brush Fire Operations
Throughout July, CFPD members continued sharpening their skills in search tactics and VEIS (Vent, Enter, Isolate, Search). These high-risk, high-reward operations demand precision and confidence—qualities our team consistently brings to the fireground. We also devoted time to brush fire training, reinforcing wildland tactics and safety protocols through real-world simulations.
The First Annual CFPD Fire Academy
With a steady influx of new members, Clinton Fire has officially launched its First Annual Fire Academy—a major step in standardizing fireground expectations and building operational excellence. This academy is more than an orientation—it’s about developing strong habits, instilling discipline, and preparing our members to work as one unified crew when it matters most.
Coming Soon: MPO Class at CFPD
We’re proud to announce that CFPD will soon be hosting a Motor Pump Operator (MPO) class starting in September. This class offers personnel the opportunity to gain critical hands-on experience with apparatus operations, pumping, and water supply tactics. Sign up now by going to Blackhawk Technical College's website!
Coming in August: Hose Advancement & Fire Suppression
As we roll into August, our training emphasis will shift to engine company operations—specifically hose advancement, nozzle handling, and fire suppression techniques. Or, as we like to say: putting the blue stuff on the red stuff. Members can expect reps, scenario-based drills, and the type of muscle memory that sets us up for success on the fireground.
Stay Ready. Stay Aggressive. Keep Learning.
To every member who continues to put in the time, effort, and heart—thank you. Whether you’re on your first call or your thousandth, you are what makes CFPD strong.
