Orange County Fire & EMS Conducts Annual Live Burn Training By: Susan Turner, Senior Administrative Assistant, Orange County Fire & EMS

Orange County Fire & EMS recently conducted annual live burn training exercises involving personnel from all three operational shifts — A, B, and C. These realistic training scenarios provide firefighters and EMS personnel with critical hands-on experience that strengthens emergency response skills, teamwork, and operational readiness. The training would not be possible without the continued partnership and support of Orange County’s IT Department and Emergency Communications Department, who play an important role in these exercises each year. Their involvement helps ensure coordination, communication, and operational success throughout the training process. We also appreciate the many outside fire and EMS professionals who participate annually as evaluators, instructors, and support personnel. The combined efforts of all involved make these exercises a true team effort and help strengthen the critical skills our personnel rely on to safely and effectively serve the Orange County community.

We are proud of the dedication shown by everyone who helped make this year’s training a success.
