| Crews worked in fully smoked-out conditions, practicing downed-firefighter operations and victim searches. During the drill, Chief 47-1 and 47 Engine also responded to a fire alarm and a reported natural gas odor.
Training in an acquired structure provides valuable opportunities to sharpen skills that are difficult to replicate in a firehouse setting. If you have property scheduled for demolition, consider contacting your local fire department to see if it may be used for training.
The Park Ridge Fire Department is actively seeking new members. Our reserve program welcomes ages 14–17, and individuals 18 and older are eligible for regular membership. If you are interested in joining, stop by the firehouse behind Borough Hall any Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
