Burn training at Captive Desires

Members of the newly formed Captive Desires Fire Dept. joined with the Chief from Claremont Fire & Rescue for a little mutual aid training. We fired up the burn tower on it's most difficult setting and had over a dozen fires going at once. We got to practice drafting from a Linden lake as well as hydrant and ladder operations. Claremont's Chief brought their snorkel too.

Minor MVA up the street from the new fire station

No one was hurt and we transported the victim back to the station for an examination. She was released shortly after Lt. Solo was finished with her.

Lt. Solo and Capt. Laville worked on pump operations, aerial deployment, and of course interior attack at the new burn simulator at the fire station tonight.

Training with new Tower-793

I tried out Tower-793 tonight and...wow what a truck! And Chief Mark Holt from the Claremont Fire Dept. was right...the HD Fire System rocks! I actually had fun!

Tanker-792 on scene

First I tried a simple brush fire. That just whet my appetite so I moved onward....

With a 1.75" I stormed the castle and attacked 

Ok why did I buy Tower-793 again? Oh yes...just for this kind of fire!
