Cherry Hill FD Trains at Aquired Structure

Companies performing roof cuts
Cherry Hill Fire Department received permission to conduct training exercises from the owner of a dwelling that was to be torn down. Companies were rotated into the dwelling to complete several different tasks during the work week. Each platoon rotated their companies in each day to meet with training and train on various tasks.
Instruction prior to cutting roof
Companies completed hose stretches, searches, simulated occupant removals, floor breeches, wall breeches, roof cuts. They were also able to complete 1 & 1 SFD senarios under simulated smoke conditions. This training is invaluable when the fire department can acquire structures to train in.
