Dormont, PA - Crews conducted focused drills on deploying and advancing charged hose lines throughout a commercial structure. The training emphasized efficient movement and management of hose lines under operational conditions inside the building.
At the conclusion of the session, the Chief delivered a brief instructional lesson on the technique of feeding hose loops up staircases. This method was demonstrated as an effective strategy for limited-staff crews, allowing them to advance hose to upper floors more efficiently compared to traditional hose advancement techniques.
