Get an up close and personal look at the life of a firefighter at TVF&R’s dynamic, hands-on Career Day. On Saturday, October 12, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., media are invited to step into the boots of professional firefighters and paramedics who will guide participants through real-life scenarios and training exercises.

TVF&R’s Career Day is designed to give attendees a firsthand look at what it takes to enter the fire service. With 50 participants expected this year, this is a unique opportunity for media to capture live action and speak with both professional firefighters and aspiring recruits about the pathways to this exciting and rewarding career.

This isn’t just a demonstration—it’s a high-energy training experience led by seasoned professionals. Media are invited to participate in hands-on activities including:

• Hooking up fire hoses to hydrants and practicing flowing water
• Learning the intricacies of vehicle extrication
• Sharpening emergency medical skills in lifesaving demonstrations
• Experiencing being elevated in the aerial platform (ladder)

Now in its fourth year, TVF&R’s Career Day has become a sought-after event for those eager to break into the fire service but unsure how to begin. Whether it’s practicing rescue techniques or learning about the next steps in their fire service journey, participants walk away with vital knowledge and new connections. 

When you arrive, please call 971-895-3552. Media parking is available directly to the left of the entrance gate.
