ARCADE, NY — May 2nd — At the Fire Training Center, members of the Farmersville Fire Department and the Arcade Fire Department took part in truck company operations training. The simulation on Saturday morning concentrated on rooftop ventilation, ladder operations, and VEIS techniques utilized in structural fire situations. In order to enhance coordination, search methods, and general fireground operations, firefighters finished practical evolutions.
Firefighters frequently employ VEIS, which stands for vent, enter, isolate, and search, to swiftly search specific areas while assisting in the management of smoke conditions within buildings. Communities in western New York continue to benefit from improved mutual assistance coordination and emergency response readiness thanks to joint training sessions amongst adjacent departments.
