| Live Burn Training - 11/22/08 |
The Maine Fire Department conducted an all day live burn training at the Vestal burn building this past Saturday.
We arrived at the facility at 8 A.M., and began with several live fire evolutions to practice hose advancement.
We then placed an artificial victim inside to simlate search & rescue techniques in live fire conditions. As
interior crews entered and exited the building, exterior crews were also busy at work laddering the building,
establishing water supply, and bringing equipment to the scene. Live burns are one of the best ways to keep
firefighters skills sharp and to keep in condition mentally for real life situations. Special thanks to all
who participated in making the drill possible.
