Rican firefighters trains
in Joint Task Force Bravo By the A.M. Costa Rica staff and wire services A group of Costa Rican firefighters are training at the Joint Task Force-Bravo in Honduras, as part of a 25 Central American firefighters from Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, during a biannual iteration of Centam Smoke, a firefighting exercise that runs five days at the Soto Cano Air Base. According to Join Task Force-Bravo, the training exercise involves many of the same countries each year, and every iteration brings new participants to train in life-saving skills. Classes are taught by members of the Soto Cano Fire Department, part of the 612th Air Base Squadron, to strengthen competencies for each of the participants and to learn from one another different techniques used in each country. The result is firefighters who share a common understanding of their craft and who are ready to facilitate future operations with coherent unity of effort, said Joint Task Force-Bravo in its statement. “Our instructors are experts in the field of fighting structural fires, aircraft fires, and technical rescue of passengers,” said Master Sgt. Kyle Dobler, Centam Smoke director. “To give an example, two of our instructors participating in this training are instructors of the U. S. Air Force Fire Fighting Academy in Europe. This shows the level of knowledge of our instructors for the benefit of the participants.” During the week of training, participants practice security techniques, good use of personal equipment and handling structural fires and aircraft fires. They were able to familiarize themselves with equipment and receive first-responder medical training. In 13 years, Joint Task Force-Bravo has trained over 800 members of the Central American fire corps, making the work done in each country more efficient and forming a group of connected professionals more prepared to jointly face regional disasters, the organization said. “This training matters only if you take the skills we’ve gained together and share them with your teams,” said Col. Steve Barry, Joint Task Force-Bravo commander. “When you spread best practices, the value of this training is exponential. I sleep more soundly knowing we have an interconnected community of firefighters in this region who share a common understanding of their craft and who are ready to facilitate future operations with coherent unity of effort.” -------------------- What other international organization could train Costa Rican firefighters?
