During the week of September 26th, Waltham conducted on job training for all Waltham firefighters. The intent was to train many of the new firefighters and current firefighters on how to attack a burning building. Deputy Chief Tim Pratt and Captain John Bonadio from the Training Division went over what was expected of them using a smoke filled training tower. There was also a body that needed to be rescued. At the end of the ‘fire’ there was a session that highlighted what went right and what could be done better.
