It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and the deputy chief's thought it would be a good evening for taking a trip down to the Sacco Fire School to do a little flammable liquid fire fighting. So they split the crews so that we always had a crew back in our first due and we loaded up for the trip down in the valley. Had some good crews as the guys and gal seemed excited to be doing some real firefighting.

We arrived down there and the staff of the school had everything set up for us so all our crews had to do was gear up, mask up and lay out the hose lines. After these crews ran through the different evolution's then they returned to our first due area so that the crews waiting at the station could come down and have some serious training. Although we have an excellent training site behind station 3 there are some types of fires that you just can't practice there and flammable liquids is one of them.

I have some great pictures I think so enough talking and hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them. I always make sure I take pictures of the crews so they can show their girls or wives where they really were on Monday night not playing checkers at the fire house.

So enjoy and if you would like to join us we would love to have you become a member just by signing up on line at this very web site. Remember training is free and you will be around some great people.
