Franklin, NJ — November 1 — Volunteers from Franklin Fire Company #1 started the morning with survival bailout training designed to reinforce safe exit techniques during high-risk situations. The session focused on practical skills firefighters use when rapid evacuation from an upper floor or compromised structure is required.

Crews rotated through multiple evolutions to practice controlled movements, equipment use, and communication during bailout scenarios. The department noted that regular hands-on training like this helps maintain readiness and improves overall safety during real emergencies.
