The fd already has a polaris ranger that is outfitted with medical equipment. The main purpose of the bikes is to provide patient care if you were to come across an incident on the bike path they would not be part of a normal bike path response.

They were talking about possibly having the sheriffs office come over and give a class since they also have a bike program.

You actually have to take a class to be "certified" on the bikes apparently they're gonna make you ride 15 miles and only the emts can ride them. And if you're on duty you can't take them out.

I also carry the led survivor light it's a great light. In addition to that there is also a led garrity light on my helmet which came with the wack pack that I purchased from thefirestore.com

The black over yellow looks sharp.

The department that I started out in as an explorer has a mask confidence course in the attic and at the substation there is a roof simulator. The mask confidence course included a forcible entry simulator and wall studs that you had to breech through it also had a part where you had to go across attic rafters.

We do background checks through the sheriffs office and an arson check we also do a check of your driving record .

Thanks for the info
