VAN FIRE DRILL

A working van fire at the fire house. The Engine Tanker was started from down the road with a crew of five and a driver. The crew was started to do extrication and this is what they came up on.

The Engine Tanker crew had to get there SCBA's on now that the job at hand had changed. The crew went to work, they pulled the bumper line on the ET, 150 FT of 1 3/4" pre-connect with a fog nozzle.

All the members had a turn on the nozzle and on the back up crew. The crew was instructed on a safe attack and safety issues to look for as they got near the van.
