Live Fire Training Prop

We recently received an excellent live-fire training prop purchased mostly with a federal grant. 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

CarseatDid 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.
