Firefighter Training, Santa Teresa Park Pueblo Area, 3/20/22 by Ronald Horii
The Pueblo Day Use Area of Santa Teresa County Park is frequently used for public safety training. For instance, in the summer, the San Jose Fire Department uses it for controlled burns and training firefighter recruits, like this on 7/1/21: https://tinyurl.com/n78tchw6
On 3/20/22, there was a fire academy training session there. Students were practicing laying hoses and using tools to fight wildland fires. No fires were actually set, but they did use hoses and water. Here are pictures of the fire academy training. Firefighter training is offered at nearby Gavilan College's Coyote Valley Campus on Bailey Avenue: https://theacademy.ca.gov/firefighter_1_academy/
