Medway, MA - Medway Fire Department firefighters recently took part in a Long Lug Out evolution designed to sharpen navigation skills in low-visibility environments.
Crews maneuvered through a series of obstacles while using hose couplings as reference points to safely find their way out—an essential technique that can help firefighters exit structures during real emergencies.
The hands-on drill strengthened teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence under pressure, ensuring crews are better prepared for the challenges they may face on the fireground.
