Description
The recruits completed 10 evolutions inside the Alexandria Fire Department burn building. The evolutions were used to enhance decision making ability and leadership skills under realistic fire conditions. Additionally, recruits continued to develop their knowledge of fire behavior, vent-enter-search tactics, 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 both live burn events. Thanks to the Arlington County Fire Department Logistics and Training Sections for their loan of SCBA for the event.
