Description
The recruits completed 10 evolutions inside the Alexandria Fire Department burn building. At times, the temperatures reached nearly 1300 degrees fahrenheit at the ceiling level. The evolutions were used to teach the recruits about fire behavior, proper nozzle management, the limitations of their protective equipment, and the importance of ventilation. Many thanks to Lieutenant Timbrook of the City of Alexandria FD for his assistance in planning the event. Thanks also to the Arlington County Fire Department Training Section for the loan of SCBA for the day.
