Training with Tank 4.

Our crews perform truck checks every day to make sure our equipment is ready for whatever emergency that we are called to. The operator assigned to Engine 4 is shown checking the winch operations this morning in the pouring rain. The crew working on shift 3 had just returned from a commercial fire alarm.

Crews working on Shift 3 plus the Admin team have responded to 3 commercial fire alarms since coming on shift this morning in between EMS calls. Luckily, all 3 alarms were not fires. One was a burst sprinkler pipe, one was a faulty detector in a common hallway, and the other was likely caused due to construction being done in an adjacent area to the detector. Our typical assignments are: the 1st Engine is the Investigation crew, 2nd Engine secures a water source (hydrant if available), the Tower prepares for rescue, ventilation or forcible entry in the front of the building, the Ambulance crew does a 360-degree walk around the structure to check for any hazards showing from or on the outside and then they are the 2-out crew unless a rescue is needed to be made, and the Chief on duty is the Incident Commander. From there the roles adjust as needed. Once the incident is deemed not to be an emergency, crews are put back in service to be ready for the next call.

Today the crew working on Shift 3 trained on Tower 2 and the new Tank 4 for their daily training. When crews work multiple shifts in a week the Captain coordinates a second training topic for their crew. After the evolution, two members of the shift went driver training with Chief Rice in Tank 4.
