If anyone saw a group of firefighters at Robin Bledsoe Park, have no fear, LFD was just training! Sometimes, having a world class fire fighting organization is about having instructors and staff that can think out of the box to prepare firefighters for any situation in new environments. LFD Firefighters attend weekly continuing education classes with their shifts. For the last 2 days LFD changed things up by practicing maneuvers with their breathing apparatus on and moving in confined spaces at the park. Who knew that crawling on the playscape in full bunker gear would be such a great simulation? One thing I should add is the firefighters also had wax paper in their masks, so they were virtually blind, just as they might be in a smoky room. Later the firefighters practiced crawling blinded in full gear in straight lines. Well done LFD!
