| The San Leon Volunteer Fire Department has been working closely with Firefighter Morales, who holds certifications as a TCFP firefighter, Advanced EMT, and pump operator.
The department follows a structured process for developing new pump operators. Chief Pittman provides one-on-one, hands-on instruction that begins with Booster 1. After the required training and evaluation, firefighters progress to Engine 3, then Engine 1, and finally Tanker 1.
This step-by-step approach gives operators valuable hands-on experience and helps them learn the specific operation of each vehicle before advancing further. Once the program is complete, the firefighter completes a final evaluation and receives the Chief’s approval before being cleared. |
