BHFD Members Hone Their Skills at Live Burn
By Lieutenant Mark Kane
November 23, 2011
On Sunday November 20 Bedford Hills firefighters were offered the chance to attend a great training hosted by the Croton Fire Department. Early Sunday morning members loaded up TL-57 and U-6 and headed to the Dutchess County Fire Training Center to participate in a live burn training. Utilizing the five story training tower members were able to practice engine and truck operations focusing on high rise fires. As both Croton and Bedford Hills operate FASTeams members also went over a firefighter down evolutions and located and removed a "downed firefighter" from the fourth floor. After lunch members were given the unique opportunity to practice fighting a basement fire. A special thank you goes out to 2nd Source Solutions, a Westchester based fire training company, who always provide exceptional real world trainings.
