On Wednesday evening, the members of GMFC gathered for their weekly training.
Captain J.R. Phillips provider a refresher on the use of SCBA as well as the use of the RIT pack. The different ways of connecting to the SCBA and the components of the RIT pack were reviewed.
After the review, the firefighter's participated in the "60 second drill." The goal is to put on all the PPE, SCBA, and be on air in 60 seconds or less. There was also a discussion about not only putting the gear on quickly but also correctly and safely.
