On Wednesday evening January 18th, members of the Webelos of the Mattituck-Cutchogue Scout Pack #39, had the opportunity to visit the Cutchogue Fire Department to work on their First Responder adventure badge.

The Scouts along with their Leaders were welcomed and given a tour of the firehouse, where they learned about the different tools and equipment that the Firefighters and EMS Workers use as well as our Junior Firefighter program.

The Scouts were joined by several members of the CFD Junior Firefighters who were on hand to help with the tour as part of the Juniors regular meeting night.

The scouts were given tours of the different fire trucks and even had the opportunity to handle a fire extinguisher and see how a thermal imaging camera works.

They were also given a lesson in first aid and bleeding control, taught by Paramedic Garrett Lake.

This visit to the Fire Department helped the scouts fulfill one of the needed requirements to help them earn their badge.

The Officers & Members of the Cutchogue Fire Department would like to thank the Scouts for visiting CFD and taking the time to learn about the Firefighters and EMT's in your community.

We hope you enjoyed your night with us.

Thank you for sending us the pictures!
