TRAINING<br />

Oak <strong>Fire</strong> Rescue is committed to providing the<br />

citizens of the City of Red Oak with a highly trained<br />

fire and rescue department. Members are sent for<br />

specialized training on a regular basis throughout<br />

the region. On a regular basis, our firefighters train<br />

with area fire departments to maintain familiarity<br />

with each other and increase on-scene<br />

performance and safety. As the Rescue<br />

Team (EDUCT), each member of the department<br />

must be trained at the technician level on all<br />

rescue disciplines. This includes: High Angle,<br />
