During the exercise, firefighters practiced using ladders and accessing the roof of the school, which enabled them to work on positioning equipment and coordinating efforts in a larger public building.The drill also involved running water through the ladder standpipe connection.
Firefighters had the chance to gain practical experience with connecting and operating a hoseline from the building’s fire protection system.
