West St. Drill house burn Gallery

This house was donated to us for drill purposes.  We had 2 months training ranging from rescuing a trapped firefighter in an confined space, rescue from a second floor down a ladder, rescue down a flight of stairs, forcible entry, roof cuts, breech of walls, and donning and doffing an airpack while disoriented.  Enjoy.  We know we did.  Pictures take by our Secretary Cheryl Regan.
