On Saturday, September 19th the Mound Fire Department hosted a live burn training accompanied by crews from St Bonifacius Fire Department.
🖐️Live burn training events provide invaluable hands-on experience for firefighters that cannot be taught in the classroom.
🔥During these events, firefighters can practice extinguishing real fires in a controlled and safe environment.
🤔This type of training helps improve their decision-making, teamwork, and firefighting techniques.
🚒It also allows firefighters to become more familiar with their equipment and its capabilities.
Overall, live burn training events help firefighters to be better prepared to face real-life emergencies and save lives!
A special thanks to:
