This week's training is focused on hose control and crew communication. Enjoy a time lapse of one of our evolutions!
Tonight’s training is victim rescue. The more real life scenario we can train, the better off we’ll be when it matters.
Beautiful night for ladder training.
We hope to see you and your family at Morin Park now until 7 p.m. for Albert Lea Safety Night! The event flyer is in the comments.

916
Check it out! The guys are out exercising our ladder truck (916) today and practicing aerial operations. See the comments for a couple photos, too!
Yellow helmet
A lot of people answered correctly yesterday for Trivia Tuesday. Great job!
Albert Lea Fire Rescue uses the yellow fire helmet to represent a probationary firefighter. Once a firefighter has proven they can be trusted and can take direction on a scene, they are presented with a black helmet.
Fire Apparatus Operator
Firefighter Friday:
We are on Week 5 of "What does Albert Lea Fire Rescue do?"
This week we will look at: What is a FAO (Fire Apparatus Operator)?
A FAO is responsible for the entire apparatus. Most importantly, that includes knowing exactly where the emergency is and how to get the crew there safely. Once they are on scene, they are responsible for pumping the water to the firefighters inside on a fire. They also must know where every piece of equipment is on the truck to provide support to the crew on the emergency scene.
Bet you didn't know they had to understand Algebra.
FL = C Q2(Squared) L: This is the formula for friction loss that they must understand.
This video was a flow path demonstration at our annual Open House to show everyone the importance of sleeping with your door closed.
