Vehicle Extrication Training 7-23-08

On July 23rd we had a vehicle extrication exercise at our training center.  We cut up a car.  With all the changes in vehicles , we were very fortunate to be able to train on a newer style car.

Fire Shelter Drill at Station 53

This is what are fire shelters look like when they are deployed.  The ones here in the pictures are used for practice and are made out of a plastic material. The ones that we carry are similar to these yet are made of a fire resistant material.



We carry the shelters in a pack on our back that is also attached to a water pack for personal use.
