This evening, Niles Township Fire participated in a “high rise ops” training with Niles City Fire, Buchanan City Fire, and Howard Township Fire. Personnel trained on ladder placement, standpipe operations, and supplying the FDC at high occupancy multi-story buildings.
While Niles Township and Niles City train together at all monthly trainings, we’ve been lucky enough to have departments from our neighboring communities attend our trainings as well. We work with these departments regularly on box alarms and major scenes, so having the ability to train with them allows us to be even better prepared to serve the needs of Niles Township and our surrounding communities.
