From Judy Gilleland - City Manager

Middletown Division of Fire (MDF)
Middletown Firefighters recently conducted training utilizing the “tower” at Station 84 on Tytus Ave. Firefighters were tasked with carrying a 42 lb hose pack up four flights of stairs and then raising a rolled section of hose up four stories (with a rope). This training is consistent with current National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, regarding annual physical performance evaluations and Fire ground operations.
