The GVCPF started a new initiative is 2022 – scholarships for law enforcement related degrees.

Golden Valley Fire Department

Each month our Firefighters work on different skills while on their duty crew shift. This month they are training on donning their protective skills, spotting and flushing hydrants. This is a practice run of what they do when pulling up to a fire. First the Firefighter stretches out the hose, then they use tools to open and flush the hydrant before connecting the supply hose. They do that in case there is anything in the pipe, rocks or debris, that could damage our trucks.
