Spent tonight hanging out with my fellow firefighters for our last training of the year.
We are all truly volunteers, no one gets paid (not even the Chief!) but we do it because we love our town and the people in it. Ine of the great things about being in a small town is that we get to do things for our neighbours and call it training!
Tonight, we grabbed a hydrant with some Large Diameter Hose (LDH) and then stretched two 1.75 inch preconnects plus another two 1.75 inch lines running off a 2.5 inch with a gated wye. And then...we flooded the rink!
How can we call this training? Well, we would do the exact same thing for a house fire! By training slow and deliberately, we will be faster when the time counts!
What did you do tonight?
