Basement Fires Training |
May 15, 2010 |
Firefighters from Hellam, Wrightsville, and a few other local departments joined
at the York County Fire School for a live burn involving basement fires.
Last Wednesday was the classroom session, which was held at the Hellam Fire Company.
Personnel were split into six teams and made a total of nine evolutions.
Skill areas utilized included hose line management, search, and rescue,
and fire attack below ground level. Engine 21 had the attack function
while Rescue 41-1 had the RIT function. Thanks to the instructors and coordinators
who made this class possible. A special thanks to Troy and Renee
Snider who staffed Ambulance 41-2 as a rehab unit and the crew from station
35 who staffed Air 35.. |
