In our recent training classes, we’ve been focusing on the importance of leaving larger diameter fire hoses on the ground to manage the weight of the water and nozzle reaction. 🌫️🔥#StayLowStaySafe #StayDry😆💦

Consistent practice is the key to mastering hose movement in high-rise and industrial firefighting, like our sessions this past week in Mid-Western Ontario. The way we train is how we perform on the fireground. Proper body mechanics and strong teamwork, are essential.👩🏻🚒#HighRise

Door control is critical when making entry into a high-rise building during a fire, just like our crews are demonstrating during this weeks Firehouse Training night, in Huron County.🔥🏢💦

Shoutout to our friend Jeff from Task Force Tips for highlighting the importance of using a standpipe kit during high-rise fires. When firefighters access fire hose cabinets in high-rise buildings, having a standpipe kit ensures a reliable water supply. #TaskForceTips
