| This week's Monday drill was a "Building Construction" class for our Firefighters and a "Rehab Operations" course for our EMT's.
Led by Captain Mike Peck the Vista Firefighters went over the different types of Building Construction in the Vista Fire District, reviewing each of the five types of Building Construction in the Fire Service and how our Firefighters can identify each type of Building Construction. The five types of Building Construction that every Firefighter should know are: Fire-Resistive (Type 1), Non-Combustible (Type 2), Ordinary (Type 3), Heavy Timber (Type 4) and Wood-Framed (Type 5).
Led by Lt. Debbie Ferman and Foreman Allie Fisher, our EMT's reviewed "Rehab operations" which is designed to ensure Firefighters physical and/or mental well-being during an emergency scene. Due to the dangers that come with Firefighting, rehab operations plays a crucial role in making sure all of our emergency responders stay safe.
