| Firefighters can only learn so much by reading textbooks. Hands-on training presents an opportunity for firefighters to physically practice techniques and sharpen their skills.
On December 11th the Dunn's Corners Fire Department acquired a structure located at 231 Post Road scheduled for demolition. DCFD firefighters had the opportunity to conduct hands-on drills on a variety of topics, including vertical and horizontal ventilation; forcible entry; mayday drills; search and rescue; firefighter rescue techniques; and flowing water.
A special thank you to Rick Quattromani for donating the building to DCFD for training.
Dunn's Corners Fire Department appreciates any future opportunities to train in acquired structures scheduled for demolition.
Thanks to Department Photographer Rebecca Schilke for the photos. |
