Ladder Company cutting the mock roll up door |
On April 19th and 23rd the East and West side companies of A-platoon were at the CHFD Training Academy for some night-time fire evolutions.
The units were presented with a windowless commercial building with a roll up door that needed to be forced by the ladder company to gain entry.

Engine Company making entry with attack line |
After gaining entry the first due engine company stretched a 2 1/2" attack line to attack a well involved first floor fire while the ladder company searched the 1 story commercial building with a loft. The ladder company encountered a civilian, unconscious, on the stairway to the loft. After removing the civilian, they proceeded to the loft and found a well advanced extension of the original fire.

Engine Companies' supply lines |
The second due engine company stretched a second attack line to the second floor to extinguish the fire in that location. The crews moped up the hot spots and ventilated the structure and performed the secondary searches.
