Live Fire Training Burn 10-19-02

Live Fire Training Burn
October 19, 2002

This live fire training burn was actually a 2 day burn that was attended by almost all members of the Sugarcreek Township Fire Department as well as guests from other area departments. The first day was actually 10-18-02, but I do not have any pictures of that yet. The house, on Saturday was host to fire in one room on the second floor for the morning evaluations, and then 4 rooms on the first floor in the afternoon. Rescue Engine 31 was used for fire attack and the back up line used in the burn rooms by the instructors. Engine 41 had a line off for the back up crew to use if needed. This fire also provided another bit of training, and that is working with neighboring departments as this area is NOT HYDRATED thus needing tankers. Wayne Twp. Fire Department and Spring Valley Twp. Fire Department each provided a tanker for the training. WTFD also supplied an air wagon.

Pictures for others are now starting to come in. I will post as they become available.

Crews laying down a tarp to set tools on. Behind them from the left WTFD Tanker, SVTFD Tanker, & STFD E-41. Engine 11 remained in service as the first out engine. Engine 41 acted as the back up for the fire.

WTFD brought their air wagon in addition to the tanker. From left - FF D. Cox, FF K. Zehring, FF J. Shiveley, and a FF from Xenia Twp. getting ready for the fire.

After the morning evaluations. The shutters on the "D" side had to be opened to vent the structure during the burn. Several firefighters from several departments gather at Rehab during lunch break.

Another shot of folks at Rehab during lunch. Mongo tells me I'm #1.

RE-31 and the 2 drop tanks used for the operation. WTFD tanker prepares to dump a load of water.
