Audubon Firefighters and Mutual-Aid Crews Conduct Live Fire Training

Firefighters from the Audubon Fire Department and mutual-aid departments gathered at the West Chester Fire Training Center for hands-on training focused on residential structural firefighting operations.

The training included interior fire attack in a multilevel building, Vent-Enter-Search (VES) tactics, ground ladder operations and other essential fireground skills. Crews practiced coordinating fire suppression and search operations while working through different areas of a residential structure.

The exercises focused on improving firefighters' ability to locate and extinguish fires, conduct searches of living spaces and operate safely in multilevel environments.

The West Chester Fire Training Center provides facilities for realistic fire service exercises, including structural burn buildings and a five-story training tower. These facilities allow departments to conduct practical exercises in controlled environments. 

The joint training provided an opportunity for participating companies to sharpen their skills, improve coordination and maintain readiness for residential structure fires.
