Members Participate in Live Fire Training

January 29, 2005 - Volunteers from St. Leonard, Prince Frederick, and Huntingtown traveled down to Broomes Island Road to participate in a live burn on a drill house.  Members trained in four hours worth of total evolutions before allowing the whole house to go up in flames.  Topics including during the evolutions varied from advancing hose lines into the house to suppression and hydraulic ventilation.  A roof sector was held throughout the drill to show of the importance of watching and checking for extension during an incident.  A special thanks to Steve Wurtz for helping members in the current pumps class, from our station, in drafting operations.
