Fireman's Field Training [8-17-16]

On the night of Wednesday, August 17th, 2016 Oceanside Terrace Hose Company No. 3 and Baldwin Hose Company One held a drill together at Fireman’s Field in Oceanside. The drill gave firefighters an opportunity to utilize tools that would be used on vehicles – i.e. cutting through and removing a windshield. Once the extrication part of the drill was completed the three junk cars were set on fire – one at a time giving firefighters three evolutions. Ex-Chiefs and safety officers from the Baldwin Fire Department held a critique after each evolution to see what members believed could have been done differently. The drill was overseen by Oceanside First Assistant Chief Kevin Klein [241A].
