| This afternoon, our probationary firefighters participated in a breathdown drill, designed to give them a real understanding of how quickly air is consumed while operating on air packs during fireground conditions.
Probies worked through physically demanding tasks including stair climbs and forcible door operations, simulating the exertion they would experience at an active incident. The goal of this drill is simple but critical, helping new members learn air management, recognize physical limits, and operate safely while wearing full gear and SCBA.
Training like this ensures our firefighters are prepared, confident, and ready when our community needs us most.
