AVALON, NJ: May 4, 2026. Members from the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department conducted a weekly drill in an acquired structure on 59th Street for a second time.

Members performed with Roof-Operations scenarios and practiced different techniques for opening roofs. This structure included a section of flat tar roof, much less common in our local.

A week earlier (not pictured) members conducted fire attack, hose line advancement, search and rescue and VEIS training at the same address.

The economy of Avalon creates an opportunity for the firefighters to train in acquired structures, houses scheduled for demolition that are made available by the owner just before they are torn down.

This home was owned my the family of a deceased exempt member, and wanted to honor his service by allowing us to train there.

If you have a house scheduled for demolition, please let us know.

AVALON, NJ: March 30, 2026 Members from the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department conducted a weekly drill in an acquired structure at 16th and Dune Drive for a second time.

Members continued with RIT-Operations scenarios and practiced different techniques for rescuing other firefighters trapped or injured in a fire building.

This week scenarios focused on the RIT packs for both Interspiro and MSA, and the FAST Board.

Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT) are specialized firefighters assigned to structure fires to rescue trapped or incapacitated fire personnel. They perform proactive duties—softening the building, staging tools, and assessing risks—to prevent maydays. If needed, RIT rapidly deploys to locate, package, and remove downed firefighters, often providing air supply and managing egress.
