FOOLS Fall Fire 2019 - Dayville, CT - 10/18-10/20/19
Charter Oaks FOOLS & NE FOOLS Fall Fire 2019
Dennis R. Lemery Training Center, Dayville CT
October 18-20 2019
Firefighters from the greater New England area and beyond gathered for a weekend's worth of training geared towards honing their craft as firefighters.
While Friday evening consisted of a lecture, both Saturday and Sunday were full days of training. Saturday was a days worth of evolutions at different training stations including forcible entry, search and rescue and throwing ladders. Sunday was a live fire "hot day" of training where participants used the skills from Saturday in a full scale fire scenario. Each stations skill was put to the test simultaneously using Dayville's state-of-the-art training facility to facilitate the event.
Overall the weekend was a great success with firefighters coming together, working together to better themselves. The instructors, some of whom are great friends of mine, are amongst the best you'd find anywhere and strive to make those who participate better firefighters. I thank Instructors Rich Driscoll and Rusty Ricker for allowing me to come photograph the weekends event.
