Today the Firefighter for a Day event concluded with a dinner held at the station.  Participants for this event arrived on Friday night and were issued a set of full turnout gear. fire_fighter_for_a_day_035

The participants were then instructed on how SCBA's operated and were taken to the smoke trailer to experience what its like with zero visibility.

Following the smoke trailer tours were given of the Patton and College sub-stations. 

Overnight crews ran an inside investigation call.

Saturday morning began with a simulated car fire, followed by an extrication where particpants were given the opportunity to use the jaws of life.

Saturday afternoon people were shown how to operate the bucket of the aerial and taken up in the bucket.

Thanks to all who attended the event.  We hope that you enjoyed the program.
