For Drill Night on Wednesday,
June 18, the Fire Company was lucky to be allowed to
play inside a building that was due to be torn down.
Sometimes when buildings are going to be taken down,
the fire company is allowed to go inside and work
with hand tools, observe how buildings are
constructed, and work in mock scenarios. For drill
on this night, we worked more on RIT team skills and
practiced lifting fire fighters through a hole in
the floor using our everyday tools. Doug Tilley ran
the class and showed everyone how to lift someone
using the handcuff knot and how to raise someone
from below using a charged handline. Photos were
taken by Sara Grogan.
