On December 6th, members of the Franklin Fire Company practiced HyperTherm and metal-cutting operations with Squad 41. A portion of defective gooseneck trailer framing was brought in for the training. Welding-experienced firefighter Stull helped teams prepare and cut the material with departmental tools. Members worked through real-world metal components for several hours, practicing safe tool setup, controlled cutting procedures, and coordinated collaboration.
