This week’s department training consisted of coordinated engine work and truck work. The training was located at the old STEM school. Crews practiced stretching extended hose lines (500 ft) into the building where they encountered tight turns, long hallways, obstacles, and finished the evolution in different classrooms. Crews also trained on first due operations involving the new 941 ladder truck where members flew the aerial ladder to the roof, pulled fire attack hose line and deployed ground ladders to the building at the same time. Our crews continue to train everyday to ensure we are providing the best service to the community.
