Carver Firefighters responded to a second alarm fire in Kingston today. C3 and Engine 1 with a crew of 6 were assigned as the Rapid Intervention Team, which is specifically for the purpose of rescuing firefighters if something goes wrong inside the fire building. Despite having multiple frozen hydrants, Kingston Fire quickly brought the fire under control. Although nobody was home at the time, it saddens us to report that multiple pets passed away in the fire. (Photo's by Future CFD Firefighter, Matt Heath)
Recruit Training Class #11 was Ladders and Ventilation (Practical). During this practical course our new Firefighters are taught different ladder raises and carries by our experienced group of Recruit Trainers. The class is then split into two groups, with half practicing ladders and the other half concentrating on hydraulic, mechanical, and roof ventilation using our training building and one of the roof-cut props (Blizzard snow storm did help here…) What a tremendous value to being able to have our new Firefighters practice real life scenarios under one roof in our own backyard.
