Pound Ridge West Lane Drill

[x635 4,066]

Pound Ridge FD held a multi-company, multi-evolution drill over this past weekend. at a vacant house on West Lane in Pound Ridge. Many firefighters from Pound Ridge and area deaprtments got to practice engine and truck skills in a controlled setting. Despite the heat, firefighters got to participate in multiple evolutions. Things were very well organized and went very smoothly, and the drill concluded with the ignition of the structure.

There will be a writeup in a coming issue of the Record-Review.

Photos of Day One and Day Two are submitted and posted over at www.emtbravo.com

Okay, again not being in the fire service, define evolution for me as it applies to the drill.

An evolution is 1 cycle.

evryone that day was put into a group Ex. Group 1,2, 3 ...... When the instructors would light a fire in the building each group would have a assuigned job (truck opps, eng co opps stand by crew, safety line.....) Each time they (the instructors) would light a fire that would be evolution 1 , the companys would extinguish the fire then jobs would change for evolution 2. I hope that helped without me ramblin on and on :blahblah:
