It’s been a busy time at our training center these past couple of months! We recently had a Rope Rescue Operations class with several members of YFD and Nile-Cliffdell Fire Rescue in attendance.
Did you know? Your Yakima firefighters are part of the areas only tech rescue team along with Federal Firefighters of Yakima IAFF Local F-295, who attend monthly tech rescue drills at Yakima Station 95. Yakima Fire Department has 3 instructors who can certify members to the Rescue 3 International standards. All YFD members of the Tech Rescue Team must become technician level within 2 years of joining the team. YFD currently has 18 tech rescue team members to ensure coverage among all 3 shifts.
In addition to these rope classes, the tech rescue team is also responsible for: confined space rescue, swiftwater rescue, and trench and structural collapse rescue to name a few. These individuals are highly trained in a wide variety of disciplines to ensure YFD is ready to respond to any and all emergencies!

A couple pics from a recent structure fire. Crews were able to contain the fire quickly to limit the spread throughout the home.
