Wednesday August 7^th thru Friday the 9^th – Engine Company Ops Training Trailer 1:00 -7:00pm

This trailer is used to demonstration sprinkler activations and how firefighters use that for their advantage and then how to shut them off. Also the connection of water supplies to building systems. Firefighters will demonstrate the use of hose lines and proper techniques to move while fighting fires. They will discuss fire alarms and smoke detectors with those watching the demonstrations.

Saturday August 10^th thru Monday August 12^th - Firefighter Survival Training Trailer 1:00 - 7:00pm

This trailer carries props that test the abilities of firefighters to “Self Rescue’ when caught in situations that may cause them to become disorientated or trapped. A series of

obstacles are placed in a course setting that the firefighter must make their way through. The firefighter has full gear on and has their ability to see covered up. This trains the firefighter to remain calm and be comfortable in their firefighter gear. It also trains them to figure out which way is “out” and get themselves to safety. Some of the obstacles have entanglement challenges, reduced size spaces, and maneuverability issues.

Tuesday August 13^th thru Thursday August 15^th – Forcible Entry Training Trailer 1:00 – 7:00pm

This trailer is used by firefighters to practice gaining entry through doors, windows, gates, and locking mechanisms. It has a forcible entry door simulator that firefighters have to break through. It also has a cutting station that simulates different obstacles that firefighters may find during a fire or rescue situation. Also, a station that trains firefighters to get through locked doors while causing minimal damage to property will be demonstrated. We use electric tools that are quiet and produce no fumes which allows our County Firefighters to train indoors during bad weather.

Friday August 16^th thru Sunday August 18^th – Roof Vent Training Trailer 1:00 – 7:00pm

This trailer is used by firefighters to practice cutting ventilation holes in roofs or floors. It has a peaked roof that produces artificial smoke, and pallets are used to simulate roofing material. It also has a Vent, Enter, Search Window that the firefighters use to practice rescues through. It has a prop used to practice roof cuts on a flat commercial style roof as well. We use electric tools that are quiet and produce no fumes which allows our County Firefighters to train indoors during bad weather.
