Fire Training


With a diverse culture and population that Lincoln City and surrounding areas has, firefighters must be ready to fight fire in any given circumstance. From a small wood-frame home to a multi-million dollar complex… or wildland urban interface fires to dealing with hybrid vehicle fires… firefighting is an evolving practice that takes training to perform safely and effectively.
 

NLF&R’s Training Division works to make sure every firefighter is prepared for any situation. This includes conducing annual physical fitness and combat testing to assure all personnel can handle the rigors of a major incident, tactical simulations for Company Officers and Incident Commanders to practice techniques and skills used on multi-unit responses, and hands-on “Bread-n-Butter” training using tools needed on the fire ground.


But training is not just about ropes, hoses and ladders. The Division maintains records of all District training and personnel certifications and offers incentives for attendance to courses around the state and nation including the Oregon State Fire College (DPSST) and the National Fire Academy. Probationary employees must complete an Orientation and Training progream in order to complete their first year, while firefighters wishing to promote must attend required courses for each discipline they wish to excel in, including Driver/Operator, Fire Officer, Fire Instructor or Manager.  For more information about the NLF&R Training Division and its programs, contact Division Chief Michael Ryan at 541-996-2233.
