Training Night 5/14/26

PFD spent the evening running training revolutions on the NW side of town. Multiple scenarios and skills were cycled through, allowing members to get hands-on experience in a non-emergent environment.

Skills trained on started with a primary attack team with a backup team staged for entry, entering the structure with a possible victim still inside. As teams advanced a hose line through the home a victim was staged and attack efforts transitioned to rescue. To do this teams located the victim and practiced hydraulic ventilation which clears a room of heat and smoke to increase visibility as well as chance of survival for the victim. The teams then navigated the victim to a separate room where the crew outside had a ladder set up and cleared the window for a second story rescue. Once the victim was safely on the ground crews cleared room by room and exited the structure.

In the nature of an active fire scene scenario, a rehab area was set up. PFD members worked on SCBA tank exchanges on the back of other fire fighters. After a tail board debrief and lessons learned discussion members racked the hose lines and returned to the station.
