Saturday March 6, 2010 - Monthly Drill

Saturday March 6 was a beautiful day for a drill in Fair Harbor.   About 20 members turned out to learn and get experience with our new thermal imaging camera.  This new piece of equipment enables us to see a victim of a fire through a dense smoke or a source of fire behind a wall. 
 
The department trained with the camera in our front firehouse filled with smoke generated for training purposes.

Sunday, August 8, 2009 - Pancake Breakfast

The pancake breakfast sponsored by the Fair Harbor Fire Department is a long tradition going back longer than any current members can remember.   Not only is it a source of revenue to the department, but it's a community event that residents and visitors look forward to.  It brings neighbors together for good, bountiful food at a reasonable price.

At the breakfast, we sell special FHFD "booster" tee shirts.  These are very popular with kids and adults alike.

Saturday, August 1, 2009 - Ladder Drill

The Fair Harbor Fire Department in it's effort to stay always prepared, drilled on the use of ladders and ropes. Although most structures in our fire protection district seldom exceed two stories, it is important to keep our members trained the use of ladders should an emergency occur. It is necessary for every firefighter to know the use of ladders and the how to get hoses and tools to the roofs of a burning building. Here our department uses our firehouse to train on.
