Last Thursday night Skippack crews were joined by Harleysville firefighters for a search and drill at the house acquired by Skippack Township. The house was filled with theatrical smoke and crews searched in small teams for victims, and then rescued them to an area of safe haven in the home. One room was staged to represent hoarding conditions. We are grateful to have this valuable opportunity to practice in a real house. Upcoming training includes hoseline advancement, firefighter rescue and firefighter survival.
