This week's "Sunday Stretch" training saw our Firefighters review how to properly advance an 1-3/4" hose line once inside a building. Vista Firefighters practiced advancing a charged 1-3/4" hose line into a structure and reviewed techniques on how to extinguish specific fires throughout the scenarios. Following the "Sunday Stretch" class, our members had a quick breakfast followed by our drivers currently training on Engine 142, Tanker 4, Engine 141 and Rescue 13 getting more training hours as they continue to prepare themselves as cleared drivers on a specific piece of apparatus.
