January Training Drills

During the month of January, B shift Crews from Stations 3 and 5 ran window-initiated search drills, working on ladder placement, breaking and clearing windows, and making entry in low visibility conditions, staying low to avoid heat and extricating victims.  B Shift Crews from Station 3 also ran a variety of drills simulating roof ventilation techniques, second-story window entry, and aerial master stream evolutions.
