Safety is a vital part of
the Klein Volunteer Fire Department training programs. Keeping
with Safety being "Number One" members of the department attended
CPR certification training classes. This training covered basic
CPR plus the use of the department AED that are carried on each of
the Pumpers. The training not only provides the members the
knowledge of what might be needed during their duties at the
department but also vital training that in an emergency could save
another’s life at home and or work. Klein VFD has added CPR
certification as a requirement to their annual basic training
classes. New recruits are required to complete this important life
saving training prior to becoming an active member of the
department.
Members of the KVFD Exploring
Post 31 completed hands on training covering the proper use and
deployment of fire hoses.

“Safety Is Number One” - Klein VFD conducts annual driver training
which includes classroom training and a hands-on driving course.
Each member of the department must complete both the classes to
remain as an apparatus driver. The classroom training covers the
policies and guidelines for the safe operation of our vehicles and
the laws that apply. The driver course is an obstacle course that
puts the drivers training to the test. The training follows the
guidelines outlined by VFIS and is update annually.
 Klein VFD basic class 2004-001 members take a
break during their ladder training to pose for a picture. Klein is
proud to add these new recruits to our current membership of 125
men and women. These recruits volunteer their time to serve the
community and must complete a training program of 57 hours.
Training includes Safety, First Aid, Communication, Ventilation,
Ladders, SCBA, Search and Rescue, Hoses and Fire Streams. The
classes wrap up with an 8 hour training class on Hazmat and a trip
to Texas A & M burn field for Live Fire training.
Safety is key during all aspects of training
from classroom to hands on. Safety is one of the first classes
they complete and continues to be a focus at all times.
Class completes at the end of April 2004 and these recruits
anxious to support their community.
