Phillipsburg, NJ - Huntington Volunteer Fire Company Station 75 trained alongside Delaware Park Chemical Engine Company No. 1 and Alpha Volunteer Fire Company Station 82 during an acquired structure drill at a building slated for demolition and redevelopment.

The setting allowed crews to operate in realistic interior conditions, focusing on vertical ventilation techniques and coordinated hose line deployment inside the structure.

On 31 August 2026, firefighters rotated through interior evolutions designed to simulate real fireground operations. Newer members gained valuable hands-on experience working through interior spaces, while more experienced firefighters reinforced core techniques and passed on operational knowledge.

Emphasis was placed on coordinated movement, effective line advancement, and communication under simulated fire conditions.

The drill provided practical, real-world style training that strengthened teamwork and improved overall readiness across all participating companies for future emergency response.
