Press photo by Jim Marsh Three dozen firefighters from Western Salisbury Volunteer Fire Department, Eastern Salisbury Fire Department and Fountain Hill Fire Department participated in a joint training exercise Aug. 30, in two vacant buildings owned by Fountain Hill Borough along Dodson Street. The firefighters drilled techniques and protocols for search and rescue, roof ventilation, ladder work, hose handling and forcible entry. The three companies are occasionally called upon to work together at mutual aids calls and the joint training gives firefighters a chance to drill common techniques and to familiarize themselves with each others' equipment. The properties formerly housed Fountain Hill administrative functions and borough managers saw the benefit in letting first responders use the properties for non-destructive training purposes.
