| Here are two firefighters putting some water on the house from the exterior. They are not trying to put out the fire, just slow it down. From this point on the structure was allowed to burn, until there was nothing but another Sherman sentinel and a pile of debris. We even recorded this event on camera - the man behind the team shown here video recorded the day's exercise. |
| These Lake Logan-Cecil Volunteer Firefighters are taking it easy. Seen in the foreground are some of the numerous hoses we had snaked out around the house. Y-gated valves, drop tanks, a huge 10,000 gallon bladder, our fire trucks and Cruso's, there was a lot of 1 1/2" hose mostly interconnected and easy to trip on. We always had an extra 1 1/2" line charged and manned to act as a safety backup for the attacking team. |
| LLCVFD firefighters getting geared up for the exercise. For those who don't know a firefighters turnout gear can easily cause a body to overheat. Fortunately, we had cool temperatures in the morning, when we started. Those cool temperatures, along with a little drizzling rain later - were welcome indeed, as fighting fires is hot dirty work. |
