The Saint Albans Fire Department started 3 days of intensive training yesterday. The training committee acquired 2 house that are going to be torn down Monday to make room for a new Little Caesar's Pizza. Whenever we get houses like that we try to do the most realistic training we can with them. Yesterday one of the training evolutions was to self rescue from a basement window using only the tools we carry with us. Normally when we try going through an opening this narrow we have to take our SCBA pack off and shove it out before us. We all came through the window with no problem without the SCBA on, but Mike Lively wanted to try and go through with his pack on. He made it but it took a lot longer and was much harder. Good job Mike.
