Live Fire TRAINING
The Training Division, in coordination with our live fire instructors and support personnel, successfully conducted four days of live fire training, October 7–10, for A and B Shifts. This evolution was built to be realistic, high-tempo, and directly tied to the risks we face in actual incidents. Crews were presented with a scenario involving a vehicle on fire inside a garage with potential extension into the residence. The smoke conditions and fire travel created an immediate life-safety problem, with a known occupant still inside the home. Companies had to arrive, size up, secure a water supply, control the garage fire, check for extension into the living space, and simultaneously locate and remove the victim—forcing coordination between fire attack, search, ventilation, and command.
A special thank you to Live Fire Lead Instructor Tyler Compton , Instructor James Hammeren , and Captains Scott Boswell and Randy Mickels for organizing, scheduling, and delivering this training. Their work ensured safe operations, clear instructional objectives, and realistic fireground problem-solving for all participating crews. Thank you as well to all support personnel who handled set-up, staffing, rehab, and accountability. This was an excellent example of Training, Operations, and our live fire cadre working together to keep our firefighters sharp, aggressive, and safe on the fireground.
