Under direction of Chief Neil McPherson and the Sherborn Fire Training committee, personnel within the department are required to hold state certified qualifications in both fire fighting and/or emergency medical services. Training and certification of active personnel play a critical element to the departments ability. It's through proper training, education and techniques that we strive to reduce injuries to our staff as well as provide a high quality of service to our citizens.

In
order or to further our education, the training committee
holds departmental training drills at least three
times a month. These drills provide up-to-date information
on techniques, equipment and procedures used during
emergency operations. Many of these drills involve
both firematic as well as emergency medical skills
and provide our staff with continued operational
experiences. At times, mutual aid agencies participate
in these drills allowing for the sharing of information
as well as the formulation of response patterns for
more efficient protection.
