Fire Call Scenarios drill for 6/22/15
 
By Vista Fire Department
June 23, 2015
 

Led by Captain Mike Peck, our Firefighters spent this Monday's drill training on three different scenarios during a potential fire call.

The first scenario was based on a response to a structure fire & stretching a hoseline into a residential home, the second scenario consisted of ladder operations during a mutual aid fire and the final scenario was setting up a draft with Engine 141 when responding to a mutual aid fire at a nearby district. The type of training conducted on Monday night is considered to be our "bread and butter" and the fundamentals of everyday Firefighting.
