Live Fire Training Prop
We recently received an
excellent live-fire training prop purchased mostly with a federal gran t.
It is a 52' tractor-trailer with three realistic propane-fired props
included. It has 160 gallons of on-board propane supplying computerized
live-fire props complete with temperature monitoring and safety
interlocks.
This training unit will be used for many years by Rock Community Fire
District, Jefferson College Fire Science Program, Jefferson County Fire
& Rescue Training Academy, and other Jefferson County Fire departments
for initial and on-going firefighter training in fire attack, rescue,
ventilation, sprinkler connection, and other fire-fighting and rescue
tasks.

Training for You!
Rock
Firefighters are Training for You!
Rock
Community Fire Protection District maintains a high level of
training to meet the needs of those we are dedicated to…You and
Your Family!
The expectations of Firefighters have evolved over the years
from just putting water on the fire, to a full service community
safety net. Today's Firefighter is better educated, better
trained, and better equipped to handle the wide variety of calls
we receive.
All Firefighters must meet
minimum requirements before working as a Rock Firefighter.
Certification by Missouri Division of Fire Safety to Firefighter
Level II is required for a career Firefighter. This training can
be completed through local colleges or fire academy training
programs. This training includes certification to the
Operational level for Hazardous Materials Response.
In addition, all firefighters must be licensed by the Missouri
Department of Health as an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic or
Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic.
While we work hard to stay
abreast of current training topics and trends across these
United States, we dedicate ourselves to you and your family's
safety and health here at home. Everyday and Everyway we remain
here for you.

Rock Community's
"Classroom to Go"
Rock
Community's "Classroom to Go"
training trailer. This trailer is
the first in the State of Missouri
to highlight the Fire Corps
initiative offered through the
Citizen Corps program.
Rock Community
not only works closely with its
local and state Citizen Corps
Councils, but also with other state
and governmental agencies to garner
support for its Fire Corps program.
The Rock Community Fire Corps’
successes and future initiatives are
supported by the Missouri State
Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).
Rock Community hopes to get
endorsements from the Missouri State
Fire Marshal, the Firefighters
Association of Missouri, and the
University of Missouri's Fire and
Rescue Training Institute. "The
statewide roll-out of Fire Corps was
somewhat low-key due to limited
funding," Orr said, "but we hope to
work with SEMA on a funding and
marketing strategy for Fire Corps in
Missouri. We would like to offer the
Missouri fire-service community both
programmatic and financial support
from SEMA."
The JCCC is
currently working to bring Fire
Corps to the Jefferson College Fire
Science Program to add a fire and
life safety education component to
the College’s Firefighter I and II
courses. This would incorporate Fire
Corps on the campus and include the
Fire Corps logo on the College's
1987 Mack training pumper, recently
donated by Rock Community. "These
talks with Jefferson College are in
the initial stages" said Orr. "We
have received positive feedback from
instructors and committee members
regarding the Fire Corps program and
its possibilities here at Jefferson
College."
Child Safety Seats
Did
you know that more than 81 percent of child restraints are used
incorrectly? Motor vehicle crashes are the leading killer of kids ages
2-14. Your Rock Community Firefighters want you to learn about
protecting kids from injury in crashes. It is up to you to
protect them just as your firefighters are here to protect you.
The Rock Community Fire Protection District is
proud to be a child safety seat inspection station. We urge our
residents to contact us at (636) 296-2211 to set up an appointment.
