Newport City, VT - The City of Newport Fire Department conducted a hands-on training session focused on operating in low-visibility, high-risk environments.

During the drill, firefighters utilized self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with their face masks covered to simulate dense smoke conditions commonly encountered inside structures. Crews navigated through confined spaces and tight obstacles, practicing self-extrication techniques essential for firefighter safety.

The training emphasized situational awareness, confidence, and teamwork in challenging conditions, helping members sharpen the skills required to operate effectively during real-world incidents.
