Earlier this week, the Boston Fire Department led a two-day training program at the soon to be demolished, parsonage house located at the former Hill Memorial Baptist Church grounds. BFD led 48 trainees from 13 municipalities across the state. Trainees came from as far as Gloucester and Braintree and as close as Everett, Revere, and of course, Boston.
The trainees worked through six learning stations and worked on drills including moving in and out of windows with ladders, knocking down interior doors, and deploying a fire hose. These types of trainings give fire cadets real world experience in using firefighting tools in the close-quarters characteristic of many homes in New England, while also building teamwork and leadership.
