Members of the Binghamton Fire Department participated in hands-on training at the Sullivan Training Center, focusing on search techniques within a simulated fire environment. Crews operated inside the structure under artificial smoke conditions, creating low visibility to replicate real-world fireground challenges. The exercise allowed firefighters to refine their ability to locate and rescue victims efficiently in high-stress situations.
