Last night members of the Lima Volunteer Fire Department practiced basic skills associated with aerial ladder emplacement, rescue, master stream operations, ground ladder raises and cutting / saw operations. From downed trees associated with weather events, or clearing trees as part of wildland fire operations or making holes in structures for ventilation or finding the fire, "cutting" is a common and critical task. With a variety of saw types, features, and techniques the training is important to ensure we are doing it safely and efficiently.
