Dutchess County FF1 Class Live Burn

16 posts in this topic

I had the opportunity to assist SFI's Gorman and Marshall, along with several others today, at a live burn for FF1 Training at the Dutchess County FIRE ACADEMY.

The schedule of events was building fires in the AM, and boring old car fires in the afternoon. I took many shots, but somehow broke the screen on my camera...so these are what they are..basically blind shots.

I do not have too many of the building burns, as I was assigned to lead one of the two search teams. I have a bunch of the car fires, a bunch of faces, and a tour of the facilty.

I MUST say, the training center has come A LONG WAY since I took Essentials in 1990...we had a 2 story concrete burn building...with no rooms...but we made due. Today's facilty has a great burn building, and MANY, MANY props and well outfitted tool compliment...KUDOS TO THOSE WHO WORKED TO ACHIVE THIS and thanks to the County staff for providing this facility for us. If you don't take advantage of these instructors and the training grounds - SHAME ON YOU!

On a side note - my Essentials Instructor was past FDMV Deputy Chief Ken Flood...
