The Volunteer Firefighter Certification class is nearly halfway over this month. The month of May saw students working hard at the site of a previous structure fire in 2011. The owner of the structure allowed us the use of the undamaged portions of the home for training and simulation. Students were required to conduct primary and secondary searches of the home. Students were also allowed to function as members of the RIT team when “problems” were encountered. The students and instructors had a great time and we will likely be doing this again in the next few weeks to prepare students for the “what ifs” they may encounter out there in the real world.
