Started in 1997, the MCFD bunk-in program gives students from area colleges the unique experience of living in a fire station while attending school. Our current students attend Onondaga Community College for Fire Protection Technology.
On Sunday August 14th, our bunk-ins moved in to their respective stations and attended an orientation session at Station 2 with their families. They then spent the entire week training and becoming familiar with MCFD operations. Under the direction of the department line officers, the week-long training included: SCBA, hydrant ops, hand line deployment, ladders, search and rescue, and RIT operations. At the end of the week all bunk-ins participated in live fire evolutions at the Clay tower with bunk-in students from the North Syracuse Fire Department. Use the link below to see pictures of the live fire evolutions with NSFD.
Welcome to the MCFD boys, and congratulations to all the bunk-in students on completing the intensive bunk-in training week. Good luck this semester and stay safe!
