Foreign Firefighters Sharpen their Skills in Monroe County


WROC’s Tina Shively reported from the Public Safety Training Facility about the training of a fire chief and three firefighters from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. The visiting firemen came to Rochester via the International Sister Cities of Rochester program to learning firefighting and training methods to help them improve their own training back home. 

The visit represents a collaboration among MCC, the City of Rochester and Monroe County. In addition, fire departments from around Monroe County donated surplus medical and fire equipment to the Puerto Plata Fire Department.
